    Overstay Controls

    Having done this for many years, I can say pretty much with complete certainty that they're no stricter and no less strict. I've passed through with no problems and been given the third degree on more than one occasion. It all depends who you speak to. I have had two 'ultima proroga' stamps in...

    Your Best/worst Customer Service Anecdote
