Hi, and apologies if this is a stupid question.
I am a UK citizen. Thus I have the right to be in the Schengen zone for 90 days in 180. My question is the impact of getting a country specific visa.
For example, say that I get a Spanish digital nomad visa when this comes out. This would allow me to be in Spain for, say, 12 months.
What is the process for how one enters Sapin in a way that does NOT impact the Schengen time?
In other words, if you enter Spain from the UK, you will get a Spanish entry stamp on your passport. If you then leave 6 months later to the UK, you will get a Spanish exit stamp. You then go to a French border post. To them, it looks like you have overstayed your Schengen visa by 3 months, and so cannot enter?
So my query is:
1) how is that problem prevented - I definitely wouldn't want to risk any Schengen problems in future
2) what stops anyone from then going to another Schengen country, from say Spain, if there are no borders where you are stamped?
3) related to (2) if you DID want to use your Schengen, to visit another Schengen country, but there are no border posts (e.g. visiting Portugal from Spain), how do you legally get a passport stamp to get your 90 in 180 days clock ticking?
Just trying to understand how it all works.
Thanks so much in advance
