Schengen forms

[Champagne Murphy]

Sailed to France, Belgium and Holland many times but I've just had a memory lapse. Looking for Schengen forms on the net (don't know why really, never filled them in before); are they Scengen VISA applications? ie these;

Those forms are for folk who need a visa, i.e. non-EU nationals (who are incidentally usually limited to 90-day stays). So far as I know there's no such thing as a Schengen form of the type you describe for EU nationals, although some Schengen countries, such as Portugal, may require some simple written shenanigans of their own.

Fair enough points, but I think we can safely assume he's a citizen of Suffolk, or thereabouts.

Schengen Treaty

Although a member of the EU, the UK is not a party to the Schengen Treaty which has essentially abolished checks at common borders between many of the EU and EEA countries. Anyone entering the Schengen area from a non-Schengen country may be subject to a passport check.
When entering the Schengen area via either Belgium or the Netherlands, vessels from non-Schengen countries are required to complete and submit a crew list. Links to samples of the forms are available under downloads on the right hand side of this page.
However, please note that you may be presented with different forms for each region in the Netherlands and in Belgium you may be given a self carbonating triplicate form or in some places an older version of the form.
In reality skippers are finding it increasingly difficult to comply with the requirements as in many ports the authorities are simply not interested in the form
