Doesn't matter, it's 90 days applied to the entire Schengen area, regardless of which member state(s) you visited.
- jkaplowitz 8y agoYes, but the person I was responding to found it relevant whether Americans are more likely to overstay in particular EU countries such as the ones on which the US imposes visa requirements. The only possible tracking (for short-term entries) is at the Schengen level, as you say; the US does not require visas from most Schengen nationals. But the US does require ESTA+VWP from them if they don't seek a visa, and this is basically analogous to ETIAS.
- Scoundreller 8y agoBut (for now), there isn’t always a passport-control between Schengen and non-Schengen zones. E.g. your time in Monaco, Andorra or Ireland. Dunno if your time in Ireland is kept track of or not if you fly to/from it.
