I overstayed in the Netherlands by 5 months and when I went through Schiphol Immigration on the way to Bangkok I was detained and then barred from the EU for 5 years.

Overstaying, especially now is beyond stupid.

In reply to Alejandra González.

its simple…90 days in 90 days out in any 180 day cycle…the cycle starts on the first day you get your passport stamped….in the 180 day period you can spend only 90 days….after the 180 day cycle which started when you first entered….the cycle resets and you have another 90 days available for the following cycle. So if you enter on January 1st 2018….you have 90 days up until July 1st 2018 (approx)….after July 1st 2018 (if you arrive back on that day) your calendar resets and you have 90 days up until 1 January 2019. And it keeps resetting depending on the date you arrive in country.

In reply to tim lewis. UK is not part of the 90 days so you would have to spend at least 10 days in the UK and you will be fine

In reply to datingsitespot.com. If you're out of the EU for 90 days then you'll be fine.

Hey I’m going to Europe for 100 days. In the middle of my trip I’m going to UK and Ireland. Does that count toward 90day limit?

Hello Guys!

Great article!

You didn’t mention one BIG country when it comes to Passport validity for US citizens……

Albania! A US citizen with a US passport can stay up to ONE YEAR without restriction! Then, if you want to stay longer you can apply in-country for a residence permit.

I am retiring there this Spring and in addition to having some of the lowest costs in Europe, the beaches are fabulous!

Thanks…..

Bob

In reply to Joe R.. Thanks for the info on the calculator. It's a lot more informative than the Italian Consulate!
