People seem to underestimate how limiting tourist visas actually are.

Imagine you sell digital products automated or something like that. You would have to literally shut your website down if you go somewhere on a tourist visa so you don't accidently make money.

You might think there are exceptions, but no there usually aren't.

And now imagine you actually live from a digital business you run yourself. You literally can't travel on a tourist visa.

I can't legally leave the EU, more or less, as I have no control when and where I earn money. I also wouldn't travel so far for just a month or two so this is really speaking to me :)
