    Thank you! What do you suggest if someone genuinely has no intention of working for the first year, but definitely intends to work beginning in the second year? It does not seem so suspicious (or unusual) that a person would want to take a one year break/sabbatical and then start working again. So I’m a little surprised that the prefecture would find it very suspicious after one year but not after two years.

    This is going to sound crazy, but what this new entry and exit system Will do for those to have bilateral agreements? what I mean is this I’m an American and the US has a bilateral agreement with various countries, including France that predates the Shingen convention. to stay an extra 90 days past the normal 90 day visa. and since Francis within the Schengen bubble, will the traveler go to a self-service kiosk from Germany, taking the train to France with the US passport on their 90th day and the software will recognize that you are US citizen eligible to take advantage of the bilateral and that goes for New Zealand and Canadians to. Because I am like if your nation signs out with a bilateral agreement with the European nations, then as a traveler, you should have to write to exercise that advantage if you want to stay longer within the Shingen zone

    Why is everybody being treated like a real criminal? Most people (99%)are decent and not criminals.

    Bonjour et merci bien for this information. I must say the incredible process of transiting to Europe via the USA on now 4 or 5 occasions is enough to make me avoid crossing the USA if at all possible. Even though one is only waiting to board a flight continuing from say New Zealand to France there is a requirement first to get and pay for an ESTA which from memory was quite expensive around 27$ I think, then having gone through this not so straightforward process in terms of where to apply and how to show you have the clearance etc, then you arrive at immigration after a 12hour flight in Los Angeles or San Francisco to HUGE long queues with only a small number of booths manned. It takes a long time to snake backwards and forwards and it has to be said that no-one in authority shows any politeness. Then once you have given you fingerprints and been allowed through you have to pick up your hold bags, walk them quite a distance (in the old days in LA it was even down the road) before handing them in again for your following flight. By now you are getting very concerned that the 3 hours you allowed is insufficient. Next you go through security again and if you are lucky you get to your gate before the flight closes. Just not to be recommended. Kiwis and Aussie's I advise you fly over Asia for Europe. So if US citizens are unhappy about the European equivalent then they need to look at their own unpleasant system.

These countries are not part of the EU but are part of the Schengen area. Also, Ireland and Cyprus are part of the EU but are not part of Schengen as you can see on the map shown on the video.

    Merci beaucoup! Thank you for producing all your very valuable and helpful content. I am trying to understand the visa-free 90-day rule. As a US citizen I am allowed to enter the Schengen area visa-free for up to 90 days within a 180-day period. Does this mean, for example, I can stay in France for 90 days, then go to a non-Schengen country (like Norway) for another 90 days (=180 days), and come back to France for 90 days?

      Hi Kirsten, Thank you for raising that and sorry for the mistake. 🤦🏼‍♀️ I should have said "four non-EU countries: Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland". These countries are not part of the EU but are part of Schengen. Also, Ireland and Cyprus are part of the EU but not part of Schengen as you can see on the map shown on the video. So, this can get a bit confusing sometimes. @ahoj7720 was correct in saying that you can spend 90 days in France (or any other Schengen countries), go to a non-Schengen country and then come back into the Schengen area at the end of the 180 periods. You will find a Schengen calculator online that can help you with your travel plans.
