How we know
This page comes from the separate EU/EEA + Switzerland zone rule, not from a country rule. The instrument in the sources is the provenance for the right. The ordinary country-row confidence signals do not exist for this route, and Stretch says so rather than borrowing them.

- Provenance
- Projected from the EU/EEA + Switzerland zone rule and the instrument it cites.

What this right means
EU/EEA and Swiss free movement is governed by EU law, the EEA Agreement or the EU–Swiss Agreement on the Free Movement of Persons, as applicable. Conditions and registration requirements generally apply for residence beyond about three months in most member states. Stretch does not hold the country-specific registration procedure for this route, so it does not invent one; check the destination authority and the cited instrument.
How Stretch treats this stay
Stretch can still log days of presence for travel history and tax-day tallies, but it does not show a visa allowance, days left or a must-exit date for this free-movement route.
