I have a Schengen visa valid from July 7 until July 29 with a duration of stay of 8 days.



I am going to depart from Toronto to Stockholm on July 7. I'll arrive in Paris on July 8 and then in Stockholm on the same day. I am going to leave the Schengen area on July 15.



I was wondering whether it is considered as an overstay.

          If you only arrive in the Schengen area on the 8th, then you're just within the limit. There are 8 dates on which you are present in the Schengen area for any time: the 8th, 9th, 10th, 11th, 12th, 13th, 14th, 15th.



          The plan doesn't leave much room for your return flight being delayed or canceled, though.

          • Ah, No, I won't. But I heard from a colleague that in the Pearson airport they checked his VISA and didn't let him board while he was going to land in the Schengen area right at the beginning of the starting date of his VISA.
