I have a question regarding the use of these reciprocal agreements toward the bottom of this text.
Here is the info from the etias website that helps explain the agreements.
“These arrangements allow US passport holders to stay for a specified period beyond the 90-day Schengen limit.
The Schengen Area nations with bilateral visa-waiver reciprocal agreements with the US are listed below along with the maximum permitted length of stay in each case:
Belgium (3 months) Denmark (3 months) Italy (3 months) Hungary (90 days)* Portugal (60 days)* Spain (90 days)* France (90 days) Latvia (90 days in half a year)* The Netherlands (90 days)* Schengen-associated country with a bilateral agreement:
Norway (90 days) *Only ordinary passports are permitted
US passport holders who take advantage of one of these visa waiver bilateral agreements must exit the Schengen Area from that EU nation. On departure, it is necessary to fly directly to a third-country or transit in a non-Schengen airport.”
I am interested in taking advantage of this agreement.
How exactly do you go about this?
For example, could I travel around the Schengen area for 2 months, then go to Spain for four months?
-
60 of 90 days traveling different parts of the Schengen area
-
last 30 of 90 days of Schengen traveling spent in Spain
-
additional 90 days spent in Spain with the bilateral visa-waiver reciprocal agreement
If so, would I need to apply for anything or do I just need proof I’ve stayed a proper amount of time and to leave Spain directly to a non-Schengen area country?
Any other info or tips are appreciated.
Thank you :)
