"Every year, thousands of American travelers arrive in Europe with a round-trip ticket, a printed itinerary, and the quiet confidence that comes from decades of visa-free tourism. Most glide through passport control without a second thought. But others roughly 1 in 5 who are flagged for extra questioning find themselves suddenly stuck at a counter, flustered, explaining travel plans to a stone-faced border agent who doesn't seem impressed by their Airbnb receipt or Instagram-ready enthusiasm."
""Do you plan to work while you're here?" To Americans, the answer seems easy. "Well, sort of. Just a few things online. I have a remote job." Or: "Just travel blogging. It's not paid. It's my personal project." Or: "Yes, but it's all remote - my clients are in the U.S." And that's where the problem begins. Because in the EU, working remotely while on a tourist visa is not always allowed - and admitting to it can be grounds for denial."
Thousands of American travelers use visa-free access to Europe and often expect routine passport control. About one in five flagged travelers face extra questioning and can become stuck at the border. Border agents commonly ask whether visitors plan to work while in the EU. Remote work, travel blogging, or U.S.-based clients can constitute work under EU rules and may be disallowed on a tourist visa. Admitting such activity can be grounds for entry denial. Travelers should know Schengen limits, have proof of return or onward travel, and be prepared to show sufficient funds.
