I got a reject on Turkey residence permit application. I'll lodge an appeal, but chances are very low, so my plan B is to go to Georgia than to Armenia to apply for Spain Schengen visa.

If somebody knows any conferences, summer schools or other events I can contribute to and get an invite to support my visa application with, let me know, please.

P.S. Spain Schengen in Armenia is an only option to apply for Schengen visa available without residence permit I know at the moment.

Might be worth asking at the event venues listed here:

opentechcalendar.co.uk/

While the listed events may not count, the organisers of each venue will know of local-based events that will. :D

It might be a way of getting multiple smaller events lined up, which will improve your odds. :D

Also, another place worth checking out is fablabs.io/

The FabLab Network has a lot of local branches in the EU that are running regional events.

One other network worth asking at, is Sensorica.

sensorica.co/

They act as a branch node and node co-ordinator for a range of #OSHW projects, so will know a lot of other potential places. :D

Anther place to ask is CoTech. :D

coops.tech/

While CoTech and it's member co-op's are based in the UK, those co-op's have members living and working in the EU. :D

It's also worth looking at the E-Residency in Estonia.

e-resident.gov.ee/become-an-e-

Working via this route would qualify you as an EU-based contractor, so remote work would become available.

In theory, you could parlay that work into being resident in an EU country, as you could show that were already working within the EU.

Though I don't know anyone who has tried this method, but it's another potential route towards EU residency.
