Good news everyone, after 2 months of working on this map, along with monitoring posts made by all of you regarding passport stamping in the Schengen area, given the new EES system, I've managed to categorize every country by the chances of being able to obtain a stamp automatically/on request depending on circumstances! Only thing I need now to complete this map is if Norway still stamps after April 9th.
Now regarding my planned EU trip this December, after some bad luck during my previous visit back in June, especially with going to Andorra via Spain (stamps on desks but agents refused to stamp after negotiating), along with visiting Amsterdam twice back to back via 2 transport methods (KLM Cityhopper & the Eurostar), I've plotted out a decent plan where I will for sure get stamps (mainly Germany & Lyon), along with some other extra locations that I want to test out.
Now regarding some locations I want to test that were barely reported, I want to see if anyone here has gotten stamps lately at the following:
- Port of Algeciras
- Port of Tarifa (Yes...I saw someone got refused but wanted to see if it was just that one specific agent)
- Ceuta
- Port of Palermo
- Kapitan Andreevo (Train crossing)
- Röszke (Hungary-Serbia border, both train & vehicle crossings)
- El Pas de la Casa (French-Andorran border)
- Brussels Airport (both Zaventem/National & Charleroi/Gosseiles)
- Brussels Midi (Haven't seen any reports from there after I was refused a stamp)
- Paris Gare du Nord
- Lille Europe
- Port of Dover
- Port of Calais or Dunkirk/Dunkerque
If anyone has any information from another Schengen crossing, let me know, even if it's already reported by another user!
