In the Schengen area, entry and exit records and permits to stay are based on stamps and stickers in the traveller's passort. There is no need for any integration between national information systems for this to work. | |

Length of stay is calculated by going through the relevant entry and exit stamps in the passport and all required documents (the Polish national visa) is also in the passport. You can always, for many reasons, end up being stuck for some time at an immigration checkpoint, but there is nothing particularly exceptional with OP's situation. | |
| Jun 13, 2018 at 11:14 | comment | added | SJuan76 | An important detail would be: Will this be automatically calculated by the system or should the OP prepare to explain his situation at the exit interview? In order to prepare documents, arrive with extra times at airports, etc.? | |
