US citizen traveling/working abroad

Hey guys, im curious about traveling abroad, specifically Europe. As a US citizen, what do i have to do to go there and visit? And when i get there what are the standard limitations on staying there? And if i find a cool gig, is it hard to convince the country to let me work there?

I know lots of u regs travel around the world for poker, and i plan on doing Europe and Asia this year, what are the roadblocks of traveling around there that i might need to know of, and any tips?

China requires a travel visa, the other 6 countries I've been to didn't ask for anything if you're American. Germany, Japan, Thailand, Singapore, Korea, and Mexico. Mexico might be different nowadays, but I wouldn't wanna go there anyway.

You can get better information by Googling this stuff yourself.

As an American living in Europe for the last 3.5 years, I have some experience with this. Pretty much every country in Europe will give you 3 months at a time for free without a visa, but you will not be allowed to stay longer. Technically you can be there for 6 months out of the year (aka 3 months there, 3 months away, 3 months there, 3 months away, but not 6 months straight).

You can usually get a residence permit easily if you either study there (I've even been able to stay my entire time here in just a local language course rather than a full University workload) or if you get any full time job. In my experience, they just check if your income will cover your planned expenses and having extra money in the bank can help. If it adds up, you're usually in, but you may need to reapply every year or so until you've been there a while. Also, make sure you'll have proof of health insurance covering you during your stay.

If you have any more questions, feel free to send me a pm.

Awesome thanks man, good to hear its not impossible to try and work abroad, its always been something ive wanted to try.

I recommend Asia for cost of living, safety, and average female BMI
