    Starting late from Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port

    That way lies madness! I suggest you switch off the internet and go for a walk!

    Starting late from Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port

    It may be. Ask yourself the question...... if time is to be "made up" on a 31 day walk is saving time on the very first day the best way to go about it? Alternatively, do you want to "do" a Camino or do you want to "experience" a Camino? To be absolutely brutal, no. Sorry. I know that seems...

    Starting late from Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port

    No, nay, no, thrice nay! 😀 Give yourself a break. Getting to SJPP no doubt involves all kinds of stresses. Give your body, and especially your mind, the chance to settle, and to absorb where you are and about to do. SJPP is a pretty place on its own and deserves a bit of time. One of...

    Overstayed 90 days? From UK?

    I'm thinking that my thoughts have been mischaracterised. And with this I bow out remembering why I left this place for a few years.

    Overstayed 90 days? From UK?

    What is relevant? I think this is unlikely to happen to an EU passport carrying pensioner travelling around Spain in a campervan.

    Overstayed 90 days? From UK?

    Yes, the OP is English, has not contributed to the thread since their OP and we are now discussing the scenario of an EU passport holder planning to be in Spain for more than 90 days. https://www.caminodesantiago.me/community/threads/overstayed-90-days-from-uk.79201/post-1116871

    Overstayed 90 days? From UK?

    With respect, in the case we are discussing where a person is carrying an EU passport, will have received no stamp on entry, appears to be driving across the border, just how will a stay of over 90 days be caught in Spain? It is possible, most likely when something goes wrong - such as an...

    Overstayed 90 days? From UK?

    Just on this...... Dutch, and I think Germans too, both jurisdictions where citizens/residents have to be registered to an address (unlike Ireland and the UK) have the option of what I would describe as a "time out" of that registration. They may still have health insurance in their own country...

    Overstayed 90 days? From UK?

    For the record, I was not suggesting this at all. This is what I wrote The "B" word was not mentioned. The person asking the question has clarified the situation (for themselves, not their husband) and is unlikely to have any issues. I don't think it is particularly fair or "right" that...

    Overstayed 90 days? From UK?

    I said can, as in may. Not will. Each municipality is different. I don't think the person who posed the question is contemplating staying and paying rent in any case. And I don't think any of this is helpful.

    Overstayed 90 days? From UK?

    I'm not sure why you are so focused on this? I am not familiar with the person asking the question but from the way they have posted I am led to believe that they are not Irish. They have asked for the experiences of Irish people. I am suggesting that the two experiences may not always be the...

    Overstayed 90 days? From UK?

    No. I haven't lived in Ireland for close on 30 years.
  13. Flatlander

    Overstayed 90 days? From UK?

    I think you may be missing my point. I can supply an Irish address, telephone number(s), bank details, a whole series of contacts and a whole batch of other proof of where I am from. I'm not saying it's necessary. It is an example of where my experience as an Irish Passport holder could be...

    Overstayed 90 days? From UK?

    I think that's true. Until something goes wrong. I think also, that I, as an Irish born citizen, may be treated differently to someone who is not Irish, presumably not European either, and carrying an Irish Passport. Spanish immigration rules are incredibly bureaucratic and if someone finds...

    Overstayed 90 days? From UK?

    This is the kind of question that inspires well meaning but ultimately useless answers. Without knowing the Nationality/Citizenship of both of you, what passports you're carrying, how and where you are entering Europe, what passports you will use to enter and leave Europe I don't think anyone...

    Overstayed 90 days? From UK?

    Wow. That's more complicated and expensive than I thought! Thanks for the correction.

    Overstayed 90 days? From UK?

    One thing to consider is that overstaying may impact on any travel to other zones in the future. A common question asked is if you have overstayed previous visas. Answer yes and you'll get a good checking. Answer no and be found out? Bye Bye USA, Australia, wherever. It may also have...

    Santiago to Leon backwards?

    The best thing to do, I imagine, is to make contact with any companies providing the service and asking them. You've mentioned May to August but don't actually say how long you plan to be in Spain. If you plan on walking no more than 10km per day Sarria to Santiago will take 10 days ish...
