Dear sir or madam,

I am thinking to go to England in a few days.One reason why I go to England is that I am already in Schengen countries for 3 months this time.

First of all,I have travelled and worked (as a volunteer) in Europe for 2 years.During I travelled,some friends told me that travellers can only stay in Schengen countries up to 3 months.I did not know about this immigration law.Since I have got this information,I always left from Schengen countries every 3 or 6 months,for example to Switzerland or Serbia for a few weeks or a few months.And then I got back to Schengen countries.

However,recently,some friend told me that you must leave from Schengen countries at least for 3 months,then you can get back.That means I was in Schengen countries for 2 years illegally,doesn't it?

Secondly,actually,I flied from Basel Switzerland to London 2 years ago because I had an appointment to work in England.However,I was sent back to London.It is very compricated to explain but anyway immigration officer fond I work there.They told me that you must have a work permit if you work.I told that I just visit some friend and help as a volunteer.However,they did not accept it.It was really disgusting for me.

I worry this problem may be reflect when I go to England this time and I may be sent back again.I do not have any appointment to work in England this time.Also,I worry I may have problems to get back in Schengen countries both in 3 moths and in the future,because I may be in Schengen countries for 2 years illegally.

Could you teach how to stay in Europe properly?And,could you teach how I can improve if I may have problems to go to England and get back Schengen countries.

I am looking forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,
Tamaki
