I believe not until the end of 2022 when the new European Travel Information and Authorisation (ETIAS) system comes into place.
When this comes into effect ETIAS will track overstay through the Entry/Exit system (EES).
EES will register third-country nationals entering and departing the Schengen Area, identifying anyone who overstays.
But until this happens
My story this year is;
Since June when the border to enter Spain reopened I have been back a forward 7 times not once has a border officer looked at my hard stamps in my passport, on 2 occasions leaving they have not bothered to stamp my passport.
One occasion entering Malaga airport recently when they were really busy they were doing the usual of just looking at the photo and waving people through.
To those of you who say to me when your passport is scanned it’s recorded I don’t believe that’s the case and have never met anyone who does they just think that’s what happens.
So I don’t believe I have anything to worry about this year when I get to overstaying by a few days.
I will let you know how I get on when this happens in November.
