Hi Steve, 

That's the incident I also read about in The Local.

Kind regards,

Surely their is a presumption of innocent until proven guilty here ? And as you are re entering that proved you left !

Also as the spouse of an Irish national you are allowed to stay for 90 days leave for one day then return 

Alec Mac you mention being a spouse of European passport holder means you can return after 90 days if leave for 1 day. I had heard about a similar scheme sort of piggyback on to spouse days etc. However, I have been unable to find any clarification of this point. Do you or anyone else know where this is actually stated rather than thearsay. Thanks for any information.

Hi if you do a search on “90/180 day rule for EU spouse”

 it will provide a lot of information 

I also had this confirmed by a French border guard when I was entering France with my wife although my passport was stamped they informed me I was not subject to the 90/180 day rule

Good luck

I'm following this, as the jobsworth sitting in his official booth stamped my Wife's and Grandsons passports but didn't stamp mine, He was obviously getting off on the fact that I had gone down the wrong taped off area and as I ducked under the tape to catch up with my wife & G'son. He had immense pleasure in telling  me he had seen me 👀,. I said I was sorry, standing there laden with all the bags. So now I know he used his special airport powers to try and stop me coming back any time soon. All because I ducted under his official tape 🤣

Surley if you go through the auto passport scanners, then there must be a record of you entering &  leaving the Country?

Just arrived back in the UK via Alicante and they stamped my passport on departure. They did the same in August when I was over, so certainly something not right
