I once stupidly got a visa for Russia valid until the day of my flight home. Plane was delayed and the time crept ever closer to midnight. Luckily I made it. Leant my lesson there, just get the visa for the 30 day max....johnsienk wrote:>>you need to leave the Schengen area before the visa expires.
well, I have a question about that. my wife got only single entry visa, valid for 7 days. what happens if on our way back, we miss the ferry or the car breaks down or something else happens and the visa expires. Will she have any problems getting to th Schengen zone? (say, if the car breaks in Poland) or leaving the Schengen zone (say, if the car breaks in the Schengen zone). I know it's unlikely, but not totally out of the question. Does anybody know? Thanks

If you are an EEA citizen, you and your wife have an initial right of residence of 90 days in each EEA state you visit. So if you are travelling together it is only necessary that your wife enters within the validity of the visa; your wife is not illegal if she "overstays" the visa. Of course you might have to explain this when leaving Schengen (a copy of your marriage certificate might help). Stamps in your wife's passport showing an apparent overstay might cause problems wife future visa applications, so ideally you would leave before the visa "expires".johnsienk wrote:>>you need to leave the Schengen area before the visa expires.
