You should have no problems flying directly to Spain. I know of one other registrant who did so and he stayed there for a brief time before he went on to Portugal.

You should have no problems with Protugal. I spent some time in Lisbon and it was nice – the palace was my favorite destination and the food was both cheap and good.

I do not foresee any issues, though let us know. How was Georgia? I plan to visit there next year

That is a risky one. Could go either way. You could take a trip and see what happens beforehand, or change venues to one that does allow registrants to enter.

It is possible that the app is perfectly safe and helpful. But, if we want to get somewhat (understandably perhaps) paranoid, the app could also be used to:

Awesome! Romania is one of the many places I want to visit (okay, so honestly I want to visit everywhere)

I know people who have lived in Georgia and loved it; beautiful country. It used to have 1 year visa-free for Americans but I believe that has now changed. And it was advertising itself as a great option for digital nomads.
But no one I know has gone there since getting on the registry. One the one hand, Georgia has been very pro-USA but on…[Read more]

Perhaps have a trusted friend ship it for you after you acquire an address in Germany?

Congrats (from Germany!)

Yes. By federal law you have to give notice to the local police at least 21 days in advance of any travel outside of the USA. You will also need to register that you are leaving (most places that I know of you have to do this within a few days).
