I bought a new Ipad specifically for the purpose.Then I added a 2 year sim card.
One is supposed to fill in the PCD before leaving the UK for Belgian shores. They then acknowledge receipt of the form, by return email. Usually within the hour. One does not fill it when one gets there, unless it is for departure- in which case one will have already solved the issue of the form working.
But if they do not care about stamping the passport upon entry & one can provide proof of that- in case some official gets shirty somewhere- then I cannot see that there is need to worry about getting it stamped on departure. The 90 day rule should not have clicked in, if they have not recorded one's entry. If on the other hand they have taken passport details etc. ( by photo probably) Then it is imperative to get that exit stamp to stop the 90 day clock.
I will try to do better next time.
I probably wouldn't have been too bothered except that my granddaughter was with us and was leaving later in the trip. I had a vision of her arriving at a Dutch airport with no entry stamp. What would the uniform say?
Later, both granddaughters joined us and one left by train another by air, neither had any problems.
I suspect I worry too much.
