Thank you so much for this video. It has cleared many of my doubts and kept me calm throughout the whole process. Please keep posting videos like these. They are really helpful 👍👍
as always, i view your channel to get clarification for answers to my questions regarding anything having to do with moving to Spain. you are just a tad bit "QUIRKY" and thats another reason i enjoy ur vids.... they are most certainly not boring in the least bit!....
Skatz, I searched to see if a similar question had been asked / answered, but didn't see anything that aligned with this, specifically, so I thought I would reach out, in case you felt wonderfully magnanimous... I would fall into the 'working around the rule' category... I have a US and Irish passport. If I enter and depart Spain on my US passport (under 90 days) while I 'test the waters' for a potential move, would a second trip, using my Irish passport to begin the transition reset the clock on the 90/180 day rule, seeing that the Irish guy (me) had not begun his 90/180 and the US guy (me) entered and departed, never to return on that passport? Thanks for all you do... I've quite enjoyed all the videos and website! Cheers and thanks,
I’ve never been so confused by a rule in my whole entire life 😂 so can I travel to and from spain as many times as I like in a 180 day period, providing it doesn’t exceed 90 days in total? Thanks
Hi YoutooSpain! I came to France on June 21 and returned to Canada on July 3 = 12 days. I then returned to France on September 15 and I plan to return to Canada on November 15 to complete 60 days. So over a period of 180 days (from June 21) I would have spent 72 in France. My question is: will December 18, 2023, 180 days after June 21, 2023, be renewed, for a new 90 days? Thank you in advance!
Yes you’d certainly be okay to go to France for 90 days from Dec 18th. You could even arrive earlier because you still have 18days left up to Dec 18th. That could probably save you money on flights, they get more expensive towards Christmas.
If I have an Irish passport my understanding is I can stay for 90 days. My question is, can I just leave for a weekend and then return? What's the rule?
That’s something that Brits used to do a lot before Brexit. A lot of them didn’t even bother to leave for a few days, just stayed for more than 3 months over the winter. It’s difficult to police EU citizens when they could be travelling freely around Europe quite legally. So unless you’re doing something nefarious or get noticed by the authorities for something then it’s unlikely to be a problem sticking around in one country for a few weeks over the 90 days. Just don’t stay for more than 183 days in a calendar year because then you’ll be liable for tax on all earnings worldwide.
Hello Sir, I am confused with 180 days rolling period.. I entered Schengen area on 9th March 2023 and exit 20 May.. I am planning to visit again in Schengen area on 16 October and Can I stay till 9th Jan 2024 or do I need to come back early?I have multiple entry Visa till March 2024. I checked in visa calculators but could not get much help.. If you can guide me🙏
Skatz, the last two times my husband (non EU passport holder) and I (EU passport holder) travelling together through Alicante have been split into separate queues , sending me through the euro immigration and not stamped my passport but my husbands passport was stamped each time even though he had our marriage certificate with him and he explained we were travelling together. . They just pointed at the sign on the window of the immigration box which said , you need a Residency card. My husband is now sure he will be prosecuted under the 90/180 day rule at some point .Any thoughts on this, ? Tia, ….
There shouldn’t be any trouble, just keep all of your travel receipts (boarding passes and flight details) for both of you so you have proof you’ve travelled together. The passport being stamped is something they’re allowed to do with non residents. If he’s questioned, he’ll just produce the copy of marriage certificate and your boarding card, plus previous travel proof. As the husband of an EU citizen, it’s against EU law for him to be subjected to the 90/180 rule while travelling with you.
Thanks Skatz , I will get him to read this and inwardly digest, I’m sure it will give him more confidence on passing through immigration. Sending peace and love and hoping you are soon on the road to healing xx
Hi, thanks or the info! So with my American passport, after 90 days in Italy I can still travel in Europe just outside the schengen area correct? Can I go to Turkey or Spain?
@@LifeWithCandis Ah yes I can see your confusion. The western part of Turkey is in the continent of Europe and the east is in Asia. But the continent is not the same as the European Union or the Schengen Area, Turkey isn't in either of those. So it's the perfect place to hop over the border from Greece and leave the Schengen Area as you approach 90 days.
I am planning to stay 90 days in France in summer but something happened that I am going to Greece and I am going to stay 45 days I want to know if I stay 90 days out of Schengen can I visit again and stay 90 days in summer?
@@robertgonzales3936 it doesn’t matter how many days you’ve spent in Schengen, if you leave for 90 you can stay for 90. If in doubt, use this calculator www.visa-calculator.com
I moved to Spain at the beginning of January and so I thought I have to leave by the end of March. But say I class the first 180-day period from the start of October to the end of March, does that mean I could theoretically stay another 90 days (if I hop over the boarder to Portugal for a day so I'm not spending more than 90 consecutive days in Spain)?
You can’t determine the 180 day period. It depends on what day you exist in time so there’s no first period, it’s always only one period because of when ’today’ exists. At the end of March when it’s the 31st, that is Day 180. If you then try to come back to Spain on April 2nd, that is then day 180 and you’ll have already been in Spain for 90 days in that period. So no you can’t. You’d have to wait 90 days before returning.

Don’t bother using your US passport, your Irish one gives you freedom of movement and the 90/180 rule is irrelevant, it’s only for non EU citizens.

That’s exactly what the rule means yes.

If you stay out of the Schengen Area yes. So Turkey yes. Spain is in Schengen though so you’d have to wait to go there.
@@youtoospain Thanks so much for your fast reply! I saw a video saying Turkey was a part of Europe and Asia and it confused me . 😅🙏🏽

Nope. Not possible. It’s not consecutive days, it’s 90 within any 180 day period.
