Thank you. I am a resident in Norway and will soon have a Norwegian passport as well as my British one. ( Brexit has forced me to do this ). Once I have my Norwegian passport I will hopefully avoid this 180 days a year nonsense. However it is my friend  who is English and living in England t...

...hat I am asking about the 90 day stay for. If I am to understand correctly then after staying 90 days he has to be back in England for 90 days before he can return for the next 90 days ?

Yes you are correct

Thank you for your reply. Finally I presume that this is for any amount of days stayed in the 90 day period. Back and forth any amount of days up until the total of 90 days stay is completed.

From my experience I would say it is best to use the Schengen calculator. The 180 days is a rolling 180 days not a fixed time period. If you put your dates into the calculator you will see how this works out. 

 If someone stays 90 days then it is simple - another 90 days before they can return.  If you stay in smaller periods than 90days then the calculation of what is allowed is best done using the calculator.

As I say that is just my experience.

Aitch.

Hi

I haven’t heard of people being fined but once they reach a Spanish airport in order to go to the UK and their passport is scanned (so they know when you entered Spain) two couples that I know of that have overstayed have been banned from returning to Spain for 2 years. Not good if you have a holiday home here.

Not exactly, the law was in place but it was only used as a last resort if any EU country wanted to remove criminals from other EU countries. Passports were not stamped and we could come and go as we pleased, it was a great club to be in.
