I overstayed in Denmark for 3 yrs now I want to apply for schengen visa again [closed]

Long story short. Last 2013 I caught overstaying in Denmark for 3 yrs I was sent back to my home country and thats 5 yrs ago now. And also now I want to apply for a Schengen visa again to visit my girlfriend in Netherlands. But I am afraid to get refusal for what happened 5 yrs ago. Is it really a big chance that i will be rejected to have a new visa? Please help.

Best Answer

You would have to convince the Dutch officials that this time, you won't overstay. Can you make a credible explanation why that won't happen? Saying "I wouldn't do that, honestly" won't be enough with your history.

It might help if you had a stable and well-paid job that requires you to return. Something no sane person would give up, even for a girlfriend. Earning more than you could in the EU ...
It might help if you were very young in 2013 and more mature now, but you are not much older now.
If you have lived together with your girlfriend for a long time, you might have a chance for a dependent visa. Ask on Expatriates Stack Exchange. (But personally I doubt that will work.)

Can I apply for Schengen Visa twice?

Schengen visas may allow for a single-entry or multiple entries. With a single-entry visa you can enter the Schengen area only once. This is indicated on the visa sticker by "01". With a visa allowing for two or multiple entries you may enter twice or several times during the validity of the visa.

When can I come back to Schengen?

Under the terms of Schengen, non-EEA nationals cannot spend more than a total of 90 days within a total period of 180 days without a visa. Furthermore, once you've used up your quota of 90 days, you cannot return to Schengen until 90 more days have passed.

What happens if you overstay your visa in Denmark?

If you exceed your visa's validity period you can be given a penalty period. During this period you will normally be unable to obtain a Schengen visa to enter Denmark. You can be banned for three years if you exceed the visa period by up to 30 days.

Can I renew my visa if I overstayed?

Yes, you can apply for a green card if you overstayed a visa. You can apply to become a green card holder from inside the United States (known as an adjustment of status) or abroad (through consular processing).
