Do I need to exit and re enter or get anything stamped to stay in the Schengen zone after my student visa expires?

Accepted answer

There was no need to exit and re-enter and no stamp was required.

To complicate matters the residence card itself was lost right before we left. We got a police report stating it was lost and there was no issue leaving the country.

My fiancΓ©e was able to re-enter with a full 90 days on a tourist visa.

With the residence card that is valid until the 15th of December, the 90/180 days rule starts on the 16th of December.

Togeather with the card, that is proof enough.

If you also have a visa, on which the residence card is based on, in the passport and that has a enter stamp is also proof.

  • it is not clear from you question if this is the case

When reentering (on 1st of January), bring the expired residence card with you just in case. The 16th of December will count in the 90 day period (i. e. 1st of January will be day 2 of 90, assuming the student visa had at least a 3 months duration).
