Timeline for I'm a long-term resident of the Schengen area. Immigration at Frankfurt did not stamp my passport on arrival. Would this cause issues later on?

| Jan 28, 2019 at 23:30 | comment | added | hmakholm left over Monica | @Crazydre: No, the answer clearly says that it is not something to be worried about. | |
| Jan 28, 2019 at 23:30 | comment | added | Crazydre | @HenningMakholm To an outsider, the way you put it may sound like it's anything to be even remotely worried about. But since it's in accordance with German procedures, plus the fact that OP has a residence permit, there isn't. | |
| Jan 28, 2019 at 23:29 | comment | added | hmakholm left over Monica | @Crazydre: I claim the Schengen rules say that the OP should have gotten an entry stamp, which they do. That Germany for some ineffable reason has an "internal practice" of ignoring what the Schengen Borders Code does not mean that the Borders Code does not say what it says, or that the German border guard who follows an "internal practice" of violating the Borders Code is not in fact violating the Borders Code1. | |
| Jan 28, 2019 at 23:25 | comment | added | Crazydre | @HenningMakholm You claim OP should've got an entry stamp, but per internal practice in Germany, that's not the case (FWIW the Bundespolizeipräsidium has informed me of this). You also imply (however vaguely) that there's anything to get "fixed". THere isn't, because the German border officer did nothing wrong per German operational guidelines. | |
| Jan 28, 2019 at 22:16 | comment | added | hmakholm left over Monica | @Crazydre: What do you think is wrong about this answer? You don't appear to contradict it. (Except that you seem to have a rather cavalier attitude to Germany deciding to ignore the explicit requirements in the Schengen rules, but that is politics...) | |
| Jan 28, 2019 at 21:01 | comment | added | Crazydre | This answer is wrong. Formal legislation is one thing, but stamping passports of residence permit holders, in reality, is a matter of national practice. Accordingly, Germany doesn't stamp residence permit holders. | |
