The ability to live, work, and study in a European country

---

For most Americans, obtaining a long-stay visa is the first step on their journey to Europe. Americans can visit Europe without a visa, but only for tourism and up to 90 days. It is illegal to work or make money in European countries while visiting as a tourist.

Americans need to obtain a long-stay visa to work, study, or stay in Europe for more than 90 days. Each country has its own list of long-stay visas for Americans, and each visa has its own unique requirements (in addition to the general requirements that apply to everyone). This is arguably the most complex part of the entire process, and Geostrata is here to help. 

There are long-stay visas for:

• Digital nomads
• Remote workers
• Professionals seeking employment
• Investors and entrepreneurs 
• Retirees and people with passive income
• Students (including language schools, culinary schools, universities, and more)
• Researchers and scientists 
• Highly-skilled workers (EU Blue Card)
• Skilled job seekers
• College graduates 
• Au pairs
• Volunteers
• Seasonal workers
• And more!
