what about canadians? and do you mind saying which country?
I live in Sweden, and while I don't have a huge number of Americans to choose from for my examples, the ones I do have range from staying because their girlfriend lived here (relationship ended within months, but just decided to stay anyway), to having an uncle who is not even a citizen himself who lives in a different part of the country. It is not that difficult. Canadians can't quite ride the American supremacy in the same way, but anyone from white people land would frankly have a fairly easy time. Any trans person who has to go to Europe I would recommend Denmark. They have made it a part of their national character to be fine with all LGBTQ people in order to be able to focus more on their islamophobia.
All right. Sounds cool but I'm still skeptical. I might want to ask you some more questions sometime (even though I probably won't try this). Are you really sure I could outstay my visitor Visa or w/e it is (can't remember if it's 90 days or like 6 months) without like proof that I have a really good career to support myself or something? I suppose I'd have to do some kind of work since I don't have a ton of savings, and the entry level jobs probably wouldn't want to hire someone who doesn't even speak Swedish, lol
You'll still have to apply to extend your visa, it's just much easier for Americans to get that extension. Having a job would of course help, but if you're not receiving unemployment benefits (That would be tough even for an American) they may just assume that you do some kind of freelance/investment.
