Question: I see reports in the media that Spanish police will start rounding up and deporting Brits who have stayed longer than 90 days, could that happen in France too? Non-EU nationals, including Brits, can stay for 90 days out of every 180 in the EU without needing a visa or a residency permit. You may be able to challenge a penalty if you can prove that you were sick with Covid when your 90 days expired and therefore couldn’t travel. If you spend more than 90 days in the EU or Schengen zone without a visa or residency permit then you are officially an over-stayer. Police in France have the right to stop anyone and require them to show official ID – for foreigners a passport.
