The Spanish Government seems to have been lenient so far. Personally, I know people who have been deported from France, Germany and Denmark for over-staying the 90-rule. The latter was taken onto his BA flight in handcuffs, as the last passenger to board. All were previously normal law-abiding types. I don’t know of any similar instances in Spain
If the British gets a special treatment, so should all other citizens, no matter where they come from if they have Spanish properties. British are not more special than other nationalities. It's either for all - or none. Such a mess the UK Government did on this subject.
Brett DennisI doubt the French can do as they pleased, either.
David HollandCould you please clarify specifically which of the several countries in Schengen but not in the EU you are referring to.
Brett DennisBecause France does what’s best for France.
SaraEU. Yet some Schengen members not in the European Union. Do not enforce the 90 day rule . And are very cautious on the new visa exemptions, if it ever starts.
Intrigued to know how France can do something about it without involving Brussels, whereas Spain says it's down to the EU and they are powerless. Is it as usual the Spanish being two faced when it comes to British tourists, we want them but we don't?
David HollandThe 90 day rule is a Schengen ruling and the ROI isn’t part of Schengen.
Ulla JacksonThe ROI has a CTA with the U.K.. and they’re in the EU.
HanserThey wouldn’t dare do that with someone from the Middle East or North Africa. Too afraid of being called a racist. Europe is finished.
