working in europe on PSW visa?

[jts]

here's one i haven't been able to figure out...

i'm a musician currently on a PSW visa and planning to do a 5-week tour around europe in places like spain, france, italy, germany, etc.

technically this would count as 'self employed' work, but i doubt much of a profit will be made at all. if i'm able to eat and fill the car with petrol i'll be happy.

i know i'm allowed to do this in the UK, but does anyone know if this visa allows me to do this kind of self employed work in europe as well?

thanks!

psw visa means nothing in EU. If you need to go visit these countries, you need appropriate visa.

on psw you can be
i.'self-employed',
ii)studying,
iii)working as an employee, or
iv)playing world of warcraft in your own time.

PSW visa allows you to do all that- but in UK only!

You need a Schengen Visa, You will also need a sponsor in the EU country you're visiting.

Make sure you have minimum 3 months visa left in your PSW from the date you're intend to return to UK when you apply for Schengen Visa
