Croatia to switch to euro, enter passport-free Schengen zone

I was about to say, as someone who DNs sometimes, I like countries like Croatia where I could recharge the Schengen window. Technically you can live in the EU forever if you keep rotating every 90 days, but practically speaking, I'm not sure if border agents will refuse your entry if you keep doing that.

Just "visit Andorra" a lot. Not-Schengen, but no borders with France or Spain.

How does this work in practice? If a border guard accosts you for overstaying in Schengen and you tell them “I was spending time in Andorra”, what then? Can they not demand proof?

You're supposed to get stamped by Andorran and French or Spanish police if you properly want to document the non-Schengen days, but stamps are optional. Not sure how part-days work.

Part days are in both, so any part day is counted as a full day in Schengen. Crossing a border means you lose a day.
