UK citizens, and gotchas of accidentally overstaying your max time in the EU

Which possibly range from “we get a bit of money in exchange to reading the boring legal texts” to “we use our good google ranking to send you to websites with huge mark-up rather than the official/cheap ones and we get a back-commission for it”

OK? and? I fail to see where the ‘’marketing’ is in the information that is provided? The summary comes from a ’’commercial’’ website which is the reason I did not link out to it, is it incorrect?

echnically, YES but Schengen Border Code (yes I have read all of it, one has to do something boring when holding a baby to sleep ) has allowances for missing passport stamps for third-country nationals, the presumption of overstay comes from Articles 11 of Reg EU 562/2006 but leave the burden on the person to prove they have not overstayed (say they had doctor attestation from Glagow?)

You can also read this in the report from EU commission to EU parliament on operation of the provisions on stamping of the travel documents, see COM/2009/0489

I remember, we discussed before ;-) I’ve had the misfortune of having to read it as well in my discussion with Customs here and asked one of our lawyers for advise who did point to the above website. I ended up having a very long forth and back based on the previous link for intra Schengen travel you posted after which I got legal advise from a specialist lawyer in Brussels to make sure before I started that ;-)

For pilots, reading AIP is not enough to cover all gotcha and lawyers are expensive, better save money for Avgas

They are, so is paying landing fees when not necessary – it was worth the hassle ;-)

I still think this regulation cannot actually be implemented because, as discussed, it conflicts with the “immigration/customs PN” system, under which you can enter or leave schengen without meeting the police, and as far as they are concerned this is legitimate.

There would also need to be a means of sorting out your status if you diverted to an airport which lies outside the schengen “border”.
