We're very worried that our 90 days are now up and we have not had our passports stamped as we're going back to Manchester on the 18th December for one week and we were having them stamped then.  However, we've heard stories that the Spanish Border Authorities are issuing large fines for being over the 90 days and we heard one couple were not allow to pass through Border control.  We are using the Santander Ferry... any thoughts?

@garystephanie Do you have some additional details? Which country did you enter the EU through? Are you applying or have applied for a visa? 

Are you in Portugal now?

Yes, I think we have partially answered this.  The consulate missed the return date on our email to have our passports stamped in Manchester, which meant we had gone over our 90 days.  Which meant travelling form Santander would be a major issue. We will have to cancel our return via the ferry (ouch) and fly on recommendation of the Consulate.  They did apologise for the oversight

@adventurefilmmaker If you're talking about GMP (Good Morning Portugal), on YT, they already started (08:30AM, Monday to Friday).

@antonio_f Thanks, no, I was talking about Gilda's Migration Tuesdays show. I didn't get an invitation to today's show and couldn't find it on the Calendar. Had to watch on YouTube. @gerry, have the membership requirements changed to get an invite to Migration Tuesdays?

@adventurefilmmaker No clue. We saw your post and caught it on YouTube as well.

So sorry. We had a technical problem which meant that some of the invitations didn't go out. We are fixing this and hopefully it won't happen again. But please note that you can always email us and we will send you the link.

@adventurefilmmaker I have had this checked now and an email invitation was sent to you and we can see that it was opened.

Was your problem something different? We did have some other technical issues and it would be very helpful to know more. Please feel free to drop me an email or DM.

Many thanks

Gerry

@gerry Thank you. I sent you a Connect request.

Basically, I didn't receive a new invitation, so when I tried old ones, Zoom told me it was an invalid Meeting ID or something like that. The show wasn't on your Event Calendar, nor could I find it listed on your Zoom meetings page. I clicked on the migration-tuesdays-how-to-move-to-portugal-with-gilda-pereira link in my email. The migration-tuesdays-dream-team page now shows 404-Not Found. I began to think there was no show despite it being mentioned in the Zoom get-together we had on Saturday, but then I saw it pop up on YouTube and went there to listen, but couldn't find a working link to join the Zoom meeting itself. I thought maybe there was a change in membership requirement - I saw others were able to join the Zoom meeting - so I do remember checking my membership status and being properly logged in.

Maybe related or not: Sometimes when I make a reservation, it registers me twice. The first time it happened a few months ago, I tried to correct it by cancelling one of the reservations, but I remember having issues getting into whichever meeting that was, so I stopped trying to fix it. 

Does any of that help?

@adventurefilmmaker That has happened to me, but they are able to eliminate the duplicates on their end, so I do not take any action. It is weird that you get multiple confirmations for a single reservation sometimes.
