Dec 1, 2014 at 16:23	comment	added	Vince		I am sorry, but I really do not see what does not apply to tourism in this answer. Based on both answers and their sources it clearly appears that the notion of stay in EEA and in EU are very complex. There are notions of tourism, of work, of study, of residence, of financial interest, of where you are allowed to receive social benefits, of presence reporting. This is not even clear to the EU officials as the justice has to decide which situation applies in some cases. So these concerns about the source are minor to me.

Dec 1, 2014 at 10:39	comment	added	Relaxed		@neo Indeed but the point is that your answer is based on a site dedicated to job mobility, does very little to clear what the criteria really are and, after fixing the inaccuracies, now contradicts itself in several places. You should just admit that it's not as simple as you make it sound. Incidentally, the question strongly implies tourism.

Dec 1, 2014 at 7:57	comment	added	neo		@Relaxed: The question does not clearly state the reasons for staying (except not working). These countries have reporting requirements for some EEA citizens. As the Germany example shows they might even apply when exercising free movement. There may be more exceptions (and the answer is therefore incomplete) but at least a subset of the travel stated in the question falls under reporting requirements. So it's advised to check before staying in those countries. One might be exempt or not.
Dec 1, 2014 at 7:50	comment	added	neo		@GayotFow: There is at least in Germany (that is the only country which laws I really know) if you stay between two and three months (cf. amt24.sachsen.de/ZFinder/… which clearly states this in laymen's terms). Whether this complies with EU treaties and regulations is another question out of scope. As far as I am aware no court has ever taken on that matter (although I don't see a reason that it might not apply – this is a non-discriminatory rules which applies to everyone, including Germans).

Dec 1, 2014 at 2:34	comment	added	Gayot Fow		This is the answer to a different question. There are no reporting requirements if the person is exercising free movement.
Nov 30, 2014 at 23:11	comment	added	Relaxed		@neo That was my understanding as well but your answer still implies otherwise and fails to address the right question…
Nov 30, 2014 at 23:08	comment	added	neo		@Relaxed: According to eda.admin.ch/dam/eda/de/documents/publications/… you don't need to, if you in the country for touristic or health care related purposes.
Nov 30, 2014 at 23:03	comment	added	Relaxed		I am not sure this really addresses the question. For example, the rule for Switzerland is “You must in any case register with your commune of residence within 14 days of your arrival”. So if you are a resident, you must register quickly but when under what conditions are you deemed to be a resident? It's not quite the same question.
Nov 30, 2014 at 21:07	comment	added	neo		@GayotFow From May 2015 a new federal law (Bundesmeldegesetz) will allow persons permanently living outside Germany to stay for up to three months without registration. Up until then however most states require registration for any non-short stay (which is in many states defined as over two months as they follow the Melderechtsrahmengesetz).
Nov 30, 2014 at 20:47	comment	added	Gayot Fow		@neo, it's only for job seekers and employment...

Nov 30, 2014 at 19:44	comment	added	neo		@GayotFow: At least in Germany all persons are required to register their residence (this includes residence for less than 90 days). There is no provision in the treaties to forbids such laws.
Nov 30, 2014 at 19:40	comment	added	neo		@Relaxed: Yes, this was intended to be a short, imprecise sentence. Feel free to edit that to make it more clear.
Nov 30, 2014 at 19:36	comment	added	Gayot Fow		@neo, these reporting requirements are for people exercising treaty rights, not free movement rights.

Nov 30, 2014 at 19:35	comment	added	Relaxed		It's not quite true every EU citizen has a right to stay in other EU countries, no matter how long. You need to qualify in one of four ways (working, being a student, being the partner of an EU citizen who qualified or having sufficient financial means to cover your needs).
