I am starting to form the distinct impression that anything you don’t agree with is dismissed as ‘fake’ and ‘phoney’.

Perhaps it’s a verbal tick or a defence mechanism picked up from a University debating club?

When a waiter brings you a pizza you didn’t like = “fake food!”

@Marc *******

better stay off the Leos so early Marc.

The rule is no more than 10 Leos in a 6 hour period as you well know.

Or in your case, keep re-entering on Leo beer runs and carry on drinking…

@Marc *******

ok then good luck with your travel and visa business. I’ll tell my immigration lawyer in portugal to fire himself.

@Marc *******

dude, regarding the fake news of a rule…

@Marc *******

let’s leave this now.

I gather your friends have told you other things but this doesn’t change the rule.

I’m ashamed to say I have broken the speed limit - on the same road - a number of times. But this sadly has not changed the speed limit.

The rule is days irrespective of the number of entries/visa runs undertaken.

It’s not quite the same how the Thai immigration rules are described:

ie x days per entry (but limits to the number of entries per year allowed).

Schengen is perhaps more straightforward?: days.

If you have stayed for 90 (within 180) days, you will have to wait until your 180 days ‘resets’ to renter to get another 90. (ie 3 months)

Sure, you can use up your allowance how you wish; unlimited entries but not so it offends the rule .

Re Croatia yes -when Croatia was outside Schengen - you could run there for…90 days (ie 3 months per my fake news comment that upset you so)

(Croatia is now part of Schengen. They joined recently. And they have the euro)

@Marc *******

you will not get 90 days on each entry if a subsequent entry breaks the rule. The rule can’t be broken irrespective of number of visa runs attempted etc.

@Marc *******

I’m inferring the need to leave for a period in order to maximise the number of days in Europe within a year.

Which is the game I thought we were playing per the original post - ie people trying to ‘continually’ live in Thailand doing perma visa bounces.

The rule is 90 per 180 days so if you wanted to stay for longer than 90 days how would you do this within a 180 day period?

Perhaps the confusion is that:

It’s 90 per 180 days (regardless of how many visa runs/entries made)

It’s not 90 days per entry regardless. eg If you have used up any of your 90 days in last 180

I dont wish to sound patronising, but please don’t be rude; just because you don’t agree doesn’t mean it’s fake news.

@Marc *******

no point arguing here. Do please read. The rules are quite clear.
