Consequences of overstaying Schengen visa in Switzerland

8/6/2012 5:06:20 PM

There is a blog entry on VagabondJourney about similar problem. And then another entry I found on Lonely Planet.

According to Schengen rules, you need to leave Schengen area for at least 90 days, before you can enter again for 90 days.

As many people on above mentioned sites comment, “your mileage may vary”. As I understand, you were not deported from Switzerland, but if you are still inside of Schengen, you may have more problems when you try to cross the border again. Some people advise to leave through a country, where control is less strict in order to avoid prohibition of entry.

As to fines, I don’t know if there is one rule, but people reported that they were fined anywhere between 550 and 1100 €.
