Help for a German friend

About a hundred USD. Sounds right for a month or three according  to the above site.

This one says fines have increased

If he overstayed greater than 3 months, he's going to get bigger fines. You sort of expect that.

Without wishing to sound smug, if you break the law, you can expect problems.

For future expats - Stick to the visa rules in order to save typing out threads about how unfair getting caught is.

As previously explained, he is in a fixed income and the German embassy took almost 2 months  to get his passport ready. I don’t think him or anyone in a similar predicament  CHOOSES to “break the law”.  Nonetheless, I will share the links so he is more informed, thanks?

Ah, the incompetence defense.

Of course he chose to break the law. Anyone who uses a passport knows to renew it at least 6 months before it expires.

Then add countries don't let you in unless you have six months left, so he's overstayed longer than six months at minimum if his passport had expired.

That and he can leave any country and enter his home country regardless of how long is left on it.

So:

When did he enter?

When did his visa expire?

When did he start the renewal process?

How long was left on the passport when he entered.

To save the maths, how long was the overstay?

Once posters have the truth rather than a slanted sob story, someone may be able to offer advice.
