Hi - I am wondering if anyone has overstayed their tourist visa while in Portugal? I am looking to go to Lisbon but I don’t meet the digital nomad visa requirements (10k in the bank, plus there’s a huge wait).

Do borders check how long you’ve stayed? Has anyone got a fine? Which countries are strict and which are not?

Your entry and leaving is tracked.

Leaving would probably not be a problem.

Coming back (anywhere in Schengen) will be.

Also, you will need to commit perjury on future visa applications for many countries: "have you ever overstayed a visa?"

It’s only tracked manually though - EES is not brought in until next year (at the earliest). I’m not asking if it’s possible in theory I am asking about in practice

In practice it's possible.

Don't do it, the risks far outweigh the benefits.
