    New long-term French visa possibility for some UK citizens

    As a home owner in Spain I can also get a long-term visa which does away with the 90/180 issue. However it still restricts me to 180 days a year. If I go over 180 I am deemed a tax resident with all the complications that introduces. Also the property value has to be over a particular threshold...

    New long-term French visa possibility for some UK citizens

    ...you're a direct family member), then you will be entitled by right to a long-term visa, meaning that you will not be subjected to the 90/180 Schengen Area rules (and with reference to earlier discussions in this place of long-term visas, this would be throughout the EU plus the non-EU...

    Thanks Tinca 😊 Bit of a muddle, isn’t it? 😈

    Clarification of new entry rules in Oct 24.

    ??? That would kind of depend on so many yerbles it’s sort of fun. RoI isn’t in Schengen any more than the UK is so ESS and ETIAS apply when you hit Schengen. Whether ETA will apply on travel between the RoI and UK is made explicitly unclear in all the published information to date because the...

    Clarification of new entry rules in Oct 24.

    This could conceivably speed up entry for travellers to Spain/France or anywhere else in the Schengen area. Earlier this year I travelled to Australia via Singapore. For each country I was required to fill in an online form, effectively a visa application/landing card. This took just a few...

    Clarification of new entry rules in Oct 24.

    This is yet to be introduced passport checking technology that will be used on all incoming travellers who are not citizens of a Schengen signatory country, so will apply to US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand to name but a few. The i, Times and Guardian all name as their source the owners and...

    Clarification of new entry rules in Oct 24.

    ...https://www.caminodesantiago.me/community/threads/forum-rules-revised-july-2023.20973/ Meanwhile, intensified border control is coming to Schengen. One day, probably, when they get around to it. And it will make no difference whatsoever to the pilgrim experience or that of the Amsterdam stag...

    Pros & Cons of One-way Flights

    I did not have a return flight when I did the Frances this past fall. No problems

    The report was carried in the English Guardian news journal so its from a point of view of English citizens.

    Clarification of new entry rules in Oct 24.

    ...Nobody knows much about the delays that the introduction of the EES system will actually cause for TCN travellers who travel to an EU Schengen country for the first time under the EES system. Whether all countries and all their airports, seaports, and terrestrial crossings that mark an...

    Pros & Cons of One-way Flights

    I am not sure that there is a great appetite for this but I, obviously, cannot resist the temptation. The law in question, the Schengen Border Code, applies in the same way to all the EU countries (all of the EU and not just EU Schengen) and the relevant quote, in its current version, says, that...

    Pros & Cons of One-way Flights

    ...into nineteen countries other than my native USA, most of them without a return ticket. Eleven of those were into Spain, nine from outside Schengen. Of course, I realize that's risky. Next time, I may take the advice of having a refundable ticket that I can cancel later. But when I did...

    Pros & Cons of One-way Flights

    The chances of being refused entry for not having a return ticket are slim in the extreme. Border control would need to have a reason for suspicion to even ask and if you have a paid up credit card and look as respectable as I am sure most of us do, they will let you in. And I speak as somebody...

    Pros & Cons of One-way Flights

    I flew one way from EWR to CDG on United Airlines. Almost 7 weeks later I flew MAD to PHL (obviously OW) on American Airlines One can say that these 2 flights are as disconnected from each other as they could possibly be (and they weren't purchased together at the same time). Not at any time...

    Pros & Cons of One-way Flights

    ...ticket? Surely you could enter the EU from AUZ/NZ and then leave for the UK or Morocco by boat. Or arrive from Portland, USA and leave the Schengen to go on to visit Turkey by train? Instead of having to show an expensive return air ticket one could show a cheap hotel reservation in Istanbul...

    Pros & Cons of One-way Flights

    True. Check and double check. I had a one way ticket from Australia to France. When I got to Sydney airport I was not allowed to check in because I did not have a return ticket (out of EU). Ended up paying a premium price for a return flight. My advice book a flexible return flight. PS if you...

    Pros & Cons of One-way Flights

    ...reliable for info. Personally, I always buy one way, but I am Norwegian, so it's not much extra cost (if any). Edit: And I come from a Schengen country, anyway, so that's not an issue for me. Edit: The pros of one way are of course several: Freedom, change of plans, sickness, bored...

    Pros & Cons of One-way Flights

    Technically you may need to have a return ticket or onward travel booked to use the Schengen visa waiver scheme. I have read of someone being refused boarding in the US because they had no such return travel arranged. Coming from the UK this in theory applies to me too but I think it may be...

    We come from a land down under

    ...Add the Ingles as well, or go to Prague and drink more of that excellent local beer? We only have so many days we're allowed to be in the Schengen zone! 😁 Yeah, I'm a bit anxious re Orisson - that last week of April / first week of May will be heaving with Pilgrims, and there's the May...
