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?

    While we’re discussing this — does shengen have an automated calculator?

    Pretty sure we still need to manually tally up our visits, but I know there was talk of having everything digitally tracked. An online calculator (SMS alerts) would be dope. (Especially now that a lot of Schengen countries don’t stamp your passport anymore — so it can be very hard to tell how long you were there for various stays.)

      you should still be tracking manually. and don’t trust apps.
