You posted your question in the middle of the night/wee hours of the morning. No one replied, probably because few saw it. A "bump" in internet forum language is when a thread is brought back to the top by a new post being added.

This reply to you is another "bump" that will again bring your thread to the top of most recent posts. Hopefully someone will be along with advice for you shortly.

I suspect whether or not you can easily stay as a tourist largely depends on which non-EU country you're from.
