If that were so, clearly no one here has demonstrated that which you claim about me. Perhaps you may have better luck with your baseless claim about me next time. ;)

Well, maybe others are more reluctant and impressed by (post-) quantity.:)

Wow. This is....not where I thought the thread would go.

Anyways, I got an awkward entry stamp in Dusseldorf, a HORRIFICALLY LAME (very low ink) exit stamp in Amsterdam and a decent-looking NYC entry stamp (my 2nd one). All in all, I was happy to fill up another page. I had a Mexican entry stamp and a Memphis entry stamp on that same page.

Great trip to Germany....an absolutely beautiful country. I had WAY too much fun! :)

Great, glad you had a great trip.

The combination of stamps should be sufficient to proof that you did not overstay ;)

Some feedback ?
 

Ok so I have been following this thread and its given me a lot of good information. but I myself have a little bit of a dilema..
My boyfriend is an american citizen, he came to the netherlands in july and was supposed to leave again in october. He ended overstaying his stay and has now been in the country for 6months. Is there away were he could get a entry stamp if he goes to another EU country without them noticing he is overstayed.
The reason why he didnt bother leaving is because he also has a spanish passport, but is in transit of getting, probably will take another month or so. Also if he's applying for school, would the school check his entry stamp, when they process his residence permit application?

CHEERS!!

Is he a spanish citizen, too? Then he should be free to stay in europe as long as he wants.

I don't get your story. Sorry.

If he's a Spanish citizen he should als:eek: have entered the EU on a Spanish passport. He would also not need a residency permit. Something is missing here.

Exactly.

Sorry for the confusion. He doesn't have his spanish passport YET. He wont be recieveing it until february. He's a dual citizen, just applied for his spanish passport last month. Thats why he didn't really mind overstaying b/c he is getting his spanish one very soon. but until then I just want to know if its possible to get an entry stamp on his american passport via another european country without them checking that he has overstayed :/ or is this all wishful thinkinking. if not do you think its possible via the spanish consulate to get some document where it states that he is in process of recieving his spanish passport? He applied to school in the netherlands as a foreign student therefore he needs a residence permit. The school applies for him but im scared that when he goes in to get all his documents etc theyre going to check his passport and see that he has overstayed and deport him...

If he's a Spanish citizen then he needs to enter the EU on his Spanish passp:eek:rt and use that document and citizenship during his stay in the EU. If he presents a US passport to enter/leave, EU countries may or may not notice that he has overstayed or that he's a dual citizen.

If he's applied for student status as a foreigner then he's potentially got an entirely different set of problems. What sort of standard is used for this? Are Spaniards considered foreigners by the school? If the school applies for residency for him as an American and he says he's allowed to stay because he is Spanish, that might only bring to light the issue of his improper entry. What they do if they discover this is probably not something you wish to find out.

I would suggest waiting until he has a Spanish passport before doing anything or attempting to cross any regulated border. I would also suggest talking to a lawyer or someone who actually knows how how such cases are handled in the Netherlands.

Some basic information on dual-citizenship can be found here.

European students are not considered foreigners. The admissions counselor told him that if he were to have his spanish passport then he doesnt need to apply for a residence permit and wouldnt be considered as a foreigner but in his case, since he doesnt have it yet he has no choice but to apply as a foreigner. So when he goes in next week to apply for the residence permit, he needs to bring his passport, in which they will see he has overstayed (because there is only one stamp in it from october, when he arrived to spain from the U.S) . but isn't there cases in which passports dont get stamped? especially if you are travelling within the EU?

Sure -- sometimes passports don't get stamped. In that case he would be missing both an exit and an entry stamp... Does he have any proof that he is Spanish? A birth certificate, naturalisation paper, etc. would likely help. Perhaps even a copy of his Passsport application would suffice. I don't kn:eek:w what else to tell you.

yea, he is waiting to hear from the spanish consulate to see if they can provide with some sort of documentation to verify his nationality while his passport is being processed.. Its a tough one.. There is also the possibilty of losing his passport and applying for a new one...
