10Just because you don't interact with an "exit check" does not mean the country has no way of knowing you have left.– Kate GregoryCommented Jul 5 at 15:40

7How did your friend travel from Germany to Ireland? In my experience, German airports are carefully designed to require anyone boarding a flight to Ireland (or anywhere else outside the Schengen area) to go through passport control. The US and UK don't do this (I don't know about Ireland), but they do record exits from airline passenger manifests. If they fail to record the exit, the traveler may have to show that they didn't overstay through other means.– phoogCommented Jul 5 at 16:01

4Ask your friend to check their passport again, where an exit stamp for the Schengen Area should exist (France/Germany). A missing exit stamp could lead to problems when re-entering. For the UK/US, the transport firm (Airline etc.) will inform the immigration authorities of the exit.– Mark JohnsonCommented Jul 5 at 16:02

6@TanyaKryvoruchenko, that comment is not rude, it does not stop people from answering, it is what you can expect on this site.– Willeke ♦Commented Jul 7 at 16:09

5@TanyaKryvoruchenko perhaps there is a language issue here, but the first comment is simply pointing out that passport checks are not the only way that a traveler's exit from a country can be monitored. So the fact that your friend saw no checks doesn't mean that their exit went unrecorded. I honestly don't know what you see that makes you feel it is sarcastic or rude, but I really don't think it was intended to be.– terdonCommented Jul 8 at 13:56

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. air-travel), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
