Planning to stay in Europe on a visitor Visa. Please help me

Post by copper7765 » Mon Jun 27, 2016 3:34 pm

I am in the UK right now on a student visa which expires on Oct. I have tried everything i could , i study music so i don't think i am going to find any music job that would sponsor me a tier-2 visa.
My parent have such high hopes , they would be really disappointed in me if i would return back home as there is nothing back there for me .
I usually make enough money through Forex/stock tradings to sustain life in Europe .
The problem is i could apply for a UK 5 year long-term visitor visa but it seems i can stay for only 180 days in a year. So i am worried for the other 180 days. can i apply for a long-term visitor visa in other European Countries like Sweden, France Or Germany ? so that i can stay there for another 180 days and return to the UK the year after?
Any Advice is highly appreciated .
Thank you so much.

You cannot use a visit visa to reside in UK and work for 6 months of every year.

If that income is enough to live on then it is a 'job' of some sort.

Visit visas are not for working (even unpaid/voluntary work is not permitted) and its not for residing.

What do you mean a 'relative (not a family member)'? A relative is family. :shock:

You cannot LIVE or WORK in ANY capacity in the UK on a visitor visa. If you don't qualify for a visa (non visitor) in your own right, you need to face the fact that you will have to leave.
