13 days ago Topic: Wanted: Recommendation for Extended EU Visa John Stone	Hello OCC Members I am a US citizen with a US flagged vessel. I am planning an Atlantic crossing to Europe in the summer of 2026. I'd like to cruise EU waters for a year and wonder how to overcome the unworkable 90 day visa restrictions for a US citizen. Leaving my boat behind for 90 days is not an option for me. I am investigating applying for what I have heard called a resident visa, extended visa, retired visa, or pensioners visa. Does anyone have insight into this approach? Any specific countries easier to gain this type of visa than others? Any information on how to pursue this is be appreciated. Thanks John Stone SV Far Reach

But, maybe extended the 90 days is the best I can do. If anyone else has additional info that would be great. Happy sailing, John
