Oh wow, that's not good. In normal times, I know some European countries allowed you to enter with a tourist visa, which is much easier, then let you apply for a work visa once you got a job offer... and if you told them you came into the country for the personal job interview, you could wait for the visa while in the country! I know because I've done it... but that was many years ago and with COVID-19 now, I don't think they're even issuing tourist visas anyway. In any case, hope you manage without issues... I've been to both countries and they are both beautiful and very "European" (as in, lovely little towns, great food and very kind people).
