Hi there. Wanted to ask if any one of you know of any EU country that issues work permits without a local job offer?

I mean I’d like to come work in the EU, but find my employer/clients while I’m there.

In Europe or EEA.

      Nah, it’s not for me. It requires 5 YoE, and it doesn’t allow you to work. It just allows you to be there and try to get a job. I want something more for freelancers.

    Why can't you just go on a tourist visa for 90 days and look for a job. It might not be allowed technically but there's no way to force a tourist to not have interviews or meet people. Once job is secure come back to US and apply for job visa.

      I think I need a bank account there. And probably a residence permit.

      Also, I’m not from the US.
