Question · Schengen days

What happens if I overstay?

Last checked 11 Oct 2026
The answer

It can mean a fine, an entry ban, and a record in the Entry/Exit System that every Schengen border can see. If you’re already over, talk to the consulate before you cross again.

This is a plain-language summary of the official rules, checked on the date shown. It isn't legal advice. If your situation is unusual, confirm with the country's consulate.
