    EU/Schengen: How Sticky is it Really?

    That is true, as others have said, but it is the opportunity to reduce that number of days that one has been in the Schengen zone by a few, which might make enough difference to the OP when it comes to the end of their trip still being legal.

    EU/Schengen: How Sticky is it Really?

    Remember that it is 90 days out of any consecutive 180 days. A short trip outside the Schengen zone does not reset the 90 days or the 180 days to zero.

    EU/Schengen: How Sticky is it Really?

    This isn't like taking a chance with an oversized carry-on bag where the consequence is having to pay to check it in. Flouting the Schengen rules could result in not being able to return to the 29 Schengen countries.

    EU/Schengen: How Sticky is it Really?

    ...situation. The status of flights between the UK and Gibraltar doesn’t interest the EU. What matters is how the EU/Spain regard the land border at La Linea for a Canadian passport holder: They regard it as an external Schengen border and they have Schengen entry stamps and Schengen exit stamps:

    EU/Schengen: How Sticky is it Really?

    My suggestion is not to test the system. You might be the first of many expats who can not come back to the Schengen Zone

    EU/Schengen: How Sticky is it Really?

    Stay with the rules; do not try to bend them. It may only hurt you in the future.

    EU/Schengen: How Sticky is it Really?

    ...so I don't see the problem; it looks like if you leave SdC after July 25 you are okay. Skip Porto and head for home immediately (or out of Schengen anyway). Don't wait for the last day; things may come up that could delay your flight. Edit: If you finish your SJPdP to SdC camino early you...

    EU/Schengen: How Sticky is it Really?

    ...the start and end dates are relatively fixed, how much time can you make by re-arranging your commitments to make a side trip outside the Schengen zone? Get down to Morocco for a few days, or anywhere else outside the Schengen zone. My experience is that border control officers will check all...

    EU/Schengen: How Sticky is it Really?

    ...no you can’t - you are correct. It’s 90 out of the last 180 days you can stay, so a weekend in Moscow only extends your elapsed time in Schengen by 2-3 days. I was commenting on the very low probability of getting caught as the system is totally manual and relies on often illegible physical...

    EU/Schengen: How Sticky is it Really?

    I don't think Henry is correct. You can not just exit Schengen for a days or so to Moscow and come back and still continue another 90 days.

    EU/Schengen: How Sticky is it Really?

    If you break it up by getting out of Schengen for a day or two; so as to get an exit stamp and a new entry stamp, you’ll very likely get away with it. There is still no electronic system recording your compliance - it relies on checking the physical stamps. Exit with your last entry 90+ days...

    EU/Schengen: How Sticky is it Really?

    You could go to Ireland 26 counties and remain in EU but not in Schengen.

    EU/Schengen: How Sticky is it Really?

    ...Here are the basic requirements, doesn't look easy (leaving Schengen and returning might be easier, if that really works?): Demonstrate more than 26,000 euros in savings Proof of private health insurance (from an authorized company in Spain not travel insurance) A doctor’s note certifying...

    EU/Schengen: How Sticky is it Really?

    If you’ve no plans to revisit the countries of the Schengen zone after that trip you’ll be fine. Otherwise the “overstayed” stamp in your passport might cause problems on your next visit.

    EU/Schengen: How Sticky is it Really?

    Greeting Peregrinos! The good news: I've created "bookends" for my next trip to Spain....in SJPP, working for the Reception office in May, and then in SdC in July, with a planned departure following St. James' Day...likely heading to Porto on the weekend. The issue is, apparently I'm pretty bad...

    Via Francigena - Southwark Cathedral -to- Basilica di San Pietro

    It was my impression that the OP meant that they were coming back at different times when they said they would break it up into four or five phases. Although it seems that the OP has disappeared for now....

    Via Francigena - Southwark Cathedral -to- Basilica di San Pietro

    And more recently for the UK, there is the need for a Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) similar to the US one. Cost is £10. https://www.gov.uk/guidance/check-when-you-can-get-an-electronic-travel-authorisation-eta

    Via Francigena - Southwark Cathedral -to- Basilica di San Pietro

    Possibly a silly question, but you do know about the Schengen visa limits?

    How many days off did you take on the CF?

    Nice one Jerry! I have done most of the La liga 1 and 2 grounds and there are many along various routes, not least with Celta Vigo, D La Coruna and Ferrol in Galicia.

    How many days off did you take on the CF?

    I'm thinking ahead with my answer. 90 days allowed as per Schengen. I'll be pushing against all 90. That includes the Frances, and definitely continuing to Finisterre. However, I have many many other side trips planned. I'm a big La Liga I & II fan. So, there's trips to Eibar and...
