Hi - I am wondering if anyone has overstayed their tourist visa while in Portugal? I am looking to go to Lisbon but I don’t meet the digital nomad visa requirements (10k in the bank, plus there’s a huge wait).

Do borders check how long you’ve stayed? Has anyone got a fine? Which countries are strict and which are not?

Just like everyone else on here working on a tourist visa.

If it was passive income, it's not an issue, right? But for some reason earning money actively while doing work for clients outside of the country is an issue. You're not affecting the job market at all, you're just changing how long you're able to stay and put money into their economy.

Working remotely as a software dev or business analyst etc is not passive income. Passive income is having a million quid invested in the s&p and you living off the interest.

Tell the person who stamps your passport that you're visiting their country with the intention of working remotely for a foreign company and see what happens.
