Overstay in France, Hong Kong passport

Post by guillaume » Tue Nov 06, 2007 9:42 am

My girlfriend from Hong Kong came see me in France with a 90 days stamp visa.
She has her return ticket only for after those 90 days.

I called the police service from the airport, they were not able to give me any good information about the consequences.

So, what would happen if she overstays 1 month when she takes her plane ton HK? They told me she will have to pay a fine, also called "regulation visa", but couldn't say how big is that fine.

Also, would that make it to leave schengen (go on week-end to Morocco for exemple)? On the way back would she have a new 90 days stamp?
The law says one can only have 90days in every 6 months, but I've heard that airports border police just give you a new stamp (if you're lucky).
UK is not part of Schengen either, so if we make a trip to London and come back? Do they even request to see your visa when you leave UK for France?

Thanks for any informations/questions.
Bye

also, since she's from Hong Kong, we want to know if she can get a schengen visa from UK. The France embassy in London would be able to make a visa for her?

a lot of phonecalls later, it would appear that an overstay in france with a 90days landing visa wont cost you any fine.
Can overstay up to 90days before having a fine.

As for next time she will want to come to europe, I don't really know if a previous overstay in france will have any consequence on asking a schengen visa or anything.

Thanks for you answers :lol: :wink:
Anyway infos/questions are welcome.

Your girlfriend doesnt need a visa for the schengen countries if she is travelling on a Hong Kong SAR passport. Visa is only required for holders of PRC passport

HK passports get a 90days stamp visa when landing in europe, that's not the problem. We want to know how to get a new visa/stamp without leaving france/europe.
