If you want to know what the Spanish will do next year, take a look at the current Third Country National requirements.  It’s not going to change.

L181SKY, whilst you may not have been talking about Residency, if you want more than 90 days consecutively, then that’s your only option.  As a Third Country National, Schengen rules prohibit a stay of longer than 90 days ... just because Portugal has cheaper and more favorable migration laws doesn’t mean as a TCN you can get round the 90 day Schengen rule.  You want to spend 180 days in a row in Portugal or Spain or France or anywhere else in the Schengen? You have to migrate. End of story. And even then, you will be bound by that countries requirements of continuous residency to maintain the visa.

You. Cannot. Do. 180 days in a row. After December 31st. As a tourist. Anywhere in Europe (That’s in the Schengen Zone).

Are you able to move to other European countries, ie, Spain 90 days and then move on to Portugal or Italy and the like so long as you don’t do 90 days in each?

Hi,

I thought you would be able to apply for a visa if you want to stay longer than the 90 days in 180?
