What would happen if my boyfriend overstays his tourist visa in Italy by five months?
To answer your question simply: Your boyfriend is playing a game of chance. He may be caught, he may not be. There is no telling. But if he does not exit the Schengen region from Switzerland or Germany his chances of leaving without a fine or ban rise exponentially. There could be problems though if you intend to fly through the UK (I don’t know where you are from) on your way home, as I have heard of them denying travelers who overstayed their Schengen visas. You can read more about this here: Overstaying Visa in Europe More information on overstaying Schengen visas can be found here: Overstaying Visa in Germany Travel to UK/ Ireland after overstaying Schengen Visa Penalties for Overstaying Visa to Work in Italy If your boyfriend decides to travel with you to Italy, he will have three months on the ground to see the situation for himself, talk to people, and figure out what he wants to do. I hope this helps. If you find any of this information different than what you experience, pleas
