Hi - I am wondering if anyone has overstayed their tourist visa while in Portugal? I am looking to go to Lisbon but I don’t meet the digital nomad visa requirements (10k in the bank, plus there’s a huge wait).

Do borders check how long you’ve stayed? Has anyone got a fine? Which countries are strict and which are not?

    I stayed in Schengen longer than 90 via one of the bilateral treaty countries (USA) and I got the third degree both when leaving and my first time returning. It all worked out because I was in the right and had done my research, but they do not fuck around.

        Some EU countries have a 180 day visa free regimes (For US passport holders), and only if you stay within them, though if they check is a different story.
