I am reading reports on another motorhome forum that some who applied and were succesfull previously in obtaining the six month French Visa are now getting rejections despite submitting the exact same applications and plans as previously. One I believe was a first timer, also rejected.
This is worrying as I was hoping to do this next spring. Anyone else had any experience of this or a knock back?
It led me to think I wonder if anyone has winged it and stayed four or maybe five months and what were the consequences if any? Its something I studied a lot before we left the EU and there are stories of third country nationals being fined up to £1000 for overstaying so its probably a bonkers idea but what are the real life experiences of actual motorhomers? It costs around £350 for two of you to get a Visa and its money lost if its rejected and the appeals process seems pointless. Its a major blow for us if true.
