Comments:







(1)


Bulgaria: the exemption from the visa requirement for the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation applies to holders of a valid travel document or a travel order issued by NATO headquarters, when they are on duty visits.










(2)


Czech Republic / Spain: Identification card and movement orders.










(3)


Those members are exempted from visa requirements in GER.










(4)


Greece waives the visa requirement for members of the United States forces, civilian personnel and their dependents when travelling on NATO movement orders.










(5)


Norway: Norway waives the visa requirement for military personnel from a NATO member state and for military personnel attached to an allied headquarters on an official mission with a travel order issued by the relevant authority in the sender state or in NATO. For these categories Norway also exempts their family members (spouses/cohabitant and dependent children).
Norway also waives the visa requirement for members of US, Canadian or British troops stationed in Europe and for military personnel who are going to be stationed or going to participate in exercises on Norwegian territory in accordance with the Treaty of Partnership for Peace. The exemption from the visa requirement in these categories does not include spouses and children.

(12)


this could change in the last months of 2020, once there is more clarity on the new UK immigration policy.

a)


performers; pedagogical-, (university) academic-, scientific workers; research workers or development workers who are participants in a scientific meeting; pupils or students under 26 years of age; sportsmen; persons providing for- or supplying goods or services in the Czech Republic or performing assembly work on the basis of a commercial contract; persons performing warranty and repair work, the performance of this activity in the Czech Republic may not exceed 7 consecutive calendar days or a total of 30 days in a calendar year,

(14)


Some special activities are not regarded as paid activity under the national legislation. These persons may enter visa-free under the conditions specifically set out.
The following groups of employees are not considered as carrying out a paid activity and are therefore exempted from the visa requirement under the specified conditions:






 


seamen holding a German seaman’s boyes (‘Seefahrtbuch’) and a national passport issued by the authorities listed in Annex II only if they are crew members of a ship which is authorised to fly the flag of Germany or staying on the territory of Germany;

third-country nationals working on a ship registered in a foreign country for an enterprise with its seat in a foreign country, who have a recognised passport or, in lieu, a passport certifying their status as engaged in navigation on the Rhine or holders of a special passport recognised in lieu, e.g. a ‘Donauschifferausweis’ or seaman’s boyes (‘Seefahrtbuch’) and who are on the crew list. The stay must be directly related to the aims of the navigating profession. Self-employed professions are also understood as paid activity"














(15)


UK Intellectual creators, mainly authors, writers, directors, painters, sculptors, actors, musicians, singers, choreographers and set designers are exempted from any visa requirement for intended staying not exceeding 90 days in any 180-day period. This provision is subject to reciprocity and overall EU-UK relations.










(16)


including international transport workers, e.g. lorry drivers. Spain reserves its right to take a decision in due time depending, among other aspects, UK national (migratory) measures related to EU citizens, reciprocity and the overall EU-UK negotiations.










(17)


International transport workers fall under our definition of paid activity and the UK nationals who are e.g. lorry drivers do not require visa to enter Croatia.










(18)


Subject to reciprocity and overall EU-UK relations.










(19)


On visa we reserve the right to revisit our position on this issue in light of the evolution of relevant UK legislation and the ongoing negotiations on the future EU/UK relationship.










(20)


The Netherlands does not require a short term visa for UK nationals carrying out a paid activity.










(21)


This applies to all sorts of paid activity and would in principle also include the abovementioned lorry drivers.
Seasonal and harvest workers have to apply for a visa. Depending on the duration of the activity, a C or D visa will be issued. On the sticker the mention ‘Saisonier’ will appear. For other, merely temporary, independent or dependent employment, third country nationals may take up their activities only after a visa has been issued. Depending on the duration of the activity, a C or D visa will be issued. On the sticker the mention ‘ERWERB’ will appear. As regards the admission of a third-country national for the purpose of training in accordance with the Directive (EU) 2016/801 a D Visa will be issued. On the sticker the mention ‘Praktikanten’ will appear.
the mention ‘ERWERB’ will appear. As regards the admission of a third-country national for the purpose of training in accordance with the Directive (EU) 2016/801 a D Visa will be issued. On the sticker the mention ‘Praktikanten’ will appear.










(22)


Regarding the particular case of international transport workers, this category does not fall under our legislation`s provisions of paid activity for short stays (no more than 90 days in any 180-day period), hence it doesn`t trigger the visa requirement imposed for other persons carrying out a paid activity in Romania.
Short-term stays for business purposes will not need a visa.










(23)


International transport workers fall under the definition of paid activity and according to SK national legislation are exempted from visa requirement in connection to paid activity during a short stay.










(24)


Third Country Nationals are allowed to carry out a paid activity short time in certain situations according to Section 79 of the Aliens Act (301/2004). A residence permit is required, with exceptions.
If the employer or contractor has no office in Finland, an alien has the right to gainful employment without a residence permit:






1)


as a product demonstrator or member of a film crew for a maximum of three months;










2)


as a member of the crew of a motor vehicle in foreign ownership or possession, with the alien destination or collecting the vehicle from its place of departure, or if the traffic in Finland is connected with a regular service between locations at least one of which is abroad, and the alien has no place of residence in Finland;














(25)


A residence permit is required. Certain foreigners who do not have an employer in Norway, are exempted from the requirement of a residence permit for work up to three months.
The exemption applies to a number of categories, including:






 


personnel on foreign trains, aircraft, buses and trucks in international traffic














(26)


Τhere is a visa type C requirement for intended staying not exceeding 90 days in any 180-day period for Intellectual creators, mainly authors, writers, directors, painters, sculptors, actors, musicians, singers, choreographers and set designers.










(27)


From 2 June 2023- 31 December 2023 there is NO VISA requirement for intended staying not exceeding 90 days in any 180-day period for Intellectual creators, mainly authors, writers, directors, painters, sculptors, actors, musicians, singers, choreographers and set designers.
