Do you always get a 90-day stamp for visa-free entry?
Whether it's the USA or other countries, as a German, you can often enter the country visa-free for 90 days. Does that mean you always automatically get a stamp for the full 90 days, or is that just the maximum the airport employee can give you, and they often give you fewer days?
For example, if I have a return ticket after 55 days, will I still get the 90-day stay stamped?
This is different for the respective country, not the special staff at the airport. Depending on where the trip goes, you are always recommended to know which visas you get here and then check the received stamp when you enter
For the United States, I can tell you it is also granted less than 90 days. But rather towards 87 days.
You don’t get much less.
In other countries it is different.
Thank you!
1. Even if my return flight starts after 55 days, do I still get stamped for more days?
Two. What if I get out of here, but go back in the 90 days? Do I get a second stamp in which a few days overlap? because the first stamp is still valid.
to 1. Yes, in the USA this is so.
2. (USA) that depends on where you travel. North America and the Caribbean => no new stamp. The first stamp retains its validity
If you want to stay longer apply for a B-1/2 visa, you can stay a maximum of 180 days.
It’s like that.
To admit in the sense of “einkable” does nothing to you. You have a maximum of 90 days per trip.
A departure to neighbouring countries does not constitute an interruption of the stay. The time of the first 90 days is continued automatically and then just off.
Immigration through the back door should be prevented.
2. But I have the 90 days for each entry. If I don’t get a new stamp on a return trip, I don’t have the full 90 days. If, for example, the stamp is valid for only 20 days, it is doof.
Usually no time limit is stamped, but the time limit is checked during the departure – has the advantage that you can enter several times if necessary, because the rule usually applies 90 days in the period of 180 days.
For the latest time, you have not been given any stamps for the USA, Canada and Singapore when you enter the airway. I don’t know if this is 100% true, I just read it in a newspaper article.
Usually on stamps there is only one entry date and you need to know how long you can stop.
