What happens if you overstay?

If found to have overstayed in the Schengen Area, as Jojo Moyes is accused, individuals face serious penalties. These can include a two-year ban from all Schengen countries and a substantial fine, potentially up to €10,000. These measures are designed to enforce immigration rules and prevent illegal overstays.
