Bestselling Me Before You author Jojo Moyes says she was stopped by French border officers and accused of overstaying, after Europe's new digital entry and exit system failed to log her leaving Portugal. She now risks a two-year EU travel ban and a €10,000 fine despite spending only weeks abroad. Other British travellers report similar errors wrongly eating into their 90-day allowance in Schengen countries.
