Title: Questions about Visa issues Athens vs Mumbai for 7 months+
Post by: SpeedDialer on December 31, 2020, 06:53:33 AM: So if you're doing internals both femur and tibia, what are the main laws for the kinds of visas and kinds of contracts/places you can stay at for that long in a foreign country if you're an American?

I've been researching this, evidently there are certain rules against staying that long in Athens

What do you think is the best way to go about this to be able to stay in Athens or Mumbai that long (like do tibias then wait a month then do femurs) all in the same place?

No dude, you asked this question many times before. You need to go with a medical visa signed off by your doctor before you go. Kilokhan literally tells you word for word in his diary what he was saying to his doctor.
