This is a new issue now travelling in europe. Anyone has any feedbank
So I picked up my FJ on October 9 from the port in Antwerp under temporary import, which we were told allow the FJ to legally remain in the EU for 180 days. Annoyingly enough, though, HUMAN visitors to the Schengen territory are only permitted to legally remain for 90 days every 6 months.That is, we are permitted to be in Schengen territory only for 3 months, then must exit for 3 months before being allowed back in for another 3 months, and so on. However, in order to drive our FJ into Turkey, we will be entering through either Greece or Bulgaria, both of which are EU countries. So, if we use the FJ now, as we are doing, for 3 months inside of the EU, and then leave the Schengen area (with my FJ) for 3 months, which we must do as human visitors, in theory, the 6-month EU-timer will have expired on our temporarily-imported FJ just in time for us to have to enter the EU again in order to cross through toward Turkey. *****Does anyone have experience with the temporary import EU law, and does anyone know how to "stop the 180-day clock" for the FJ during the time it is physically outside of the EU?
