Hello,
I've read just about everything out there to try and get an answer to my question and have yet to find a conclusive and appealing answer. I am a United States citizen traveling through Europe, and I have a question regarding an extension on the typical 90 days maximum (within a 180 day period) allowance. My travel is purely for leisure, and i am trying to see 6-7 countries within the Schengen zone. I have ample savings to be able to evidence my ability to cover travel expenditures and I do not intend to work anywhere I travel to (my year off is predicated upon me not working one single bit).
Would it be possible to obtain some sort of exemption to be able to stay 4-5 months within the Schengen zone instead of just 90 days? 3 months is not enough time for me to properly see and experience the various countries I plan to travel to. I know one "loophole" is to obtain a work visa from a country within the zone but this requires various things that would be difficult for me to provide: local residence, photo (due to the size/content specifications), etc.
Thank you very much for your assistance in this matter!
