HELP PLEASE. Accidentally overstayed in Schengen

The situation is different. People don't realize that the visa regulations for UK & Great Brittain is separate from the rest of Europe and assume that their UK visa is "good" in the rest of Europe as well. It's further fucked because UK citizens don't need a visa to visit the rest of EU so when you're studying in the country you're living with people who travel within EU all the time.

I know a guy from the US who was in a similar situation. He figured honesty would be key. Ended with schengen blacklist for x years, and since his wife was mid US visa application they were unable to meet in either regions.

Showing your passport anywhere in Sweden will have consequences. Your safest bet is a probably a rubber boat back to the UK.

Call the embassy anonymously and ask if there's a way you can get away with this if you go there and explain the situation.

Don't voluntarily give them what they need to blacklist you. Don't go to the embassy.

To try your luck is the best thing you can do in this situation.
She would have ended up with that stamp in her passport if she had gone to the embassy anyway.

How did it go? Trouble?

Have driven car lots of times from Sweden to Germany via Denmark (Öresund Bridge Malmö-Copenhagen / Rödyby-Puttgarden) and can not remember there was any control of passports, on the other hand back into Sweden there are "harder" controls but still incredibly slack.


It is of course changed in times of increased terrorist threat when temporary border controls in the EU are temporarily established, the last time I happened to find this was several years ago between the border with Austria and Germany.

Experience that the UK has significantly tougher border controls at the airports, has never driven a car or ferry to the UK
