I"m American and never been to Europe. I googled and found out that you could stay 90 days in a 180 day period in Schengen countries and it includes a list of those countries. So basically after 90 days, one could leave that country and reenter again in 3 months? Thus you have to go back to the US and then go back again right? Well what about those other countries not listed in the Schegen? Could you go there for 90 days then leave and then go 90 days to a Schengen country?
I'm surprised the UK isn't on this list? Are there Americans that stay outside the US say Canada for 180 days, then Europe for 90 days and 90 days in a non-Schengen country?
The easiest way to extend your trip past 90 days is to visit both Schengen and non-Schengen countries. Once your 90 days are up, travel to the UK, Ireland, or one of the many Eastern European countries that aren’t part of the agreement. Once you’ve spent 90 days there, you are free to return to to the Schengen area for another 90 days. You can keep repeating this process until you run out of money.

It doesn't quite work like that, Visitors can come to the UK for purposes of tourism, visiting friends, business visits and similar, and are usually allowed to stay for a maximum of 3 months.
Visitors can apply to stay for maximum 6 months in each 12 months. Not 6 months from each entry to the UK.
You would normally have to give a good reason for extending your stay beyond 3 months in a 12 month period and have to provide proof to back it up, the same is true of Schenghen for non-EU citizens.
It also should be noted that visitors do not have the right to live or work and have to prove they are here for tourism reasons, something you would find difficult if you kept returning for 3 months stays, and all passports and visas are electronically scanned and flag such behaviour. So you will mpost likely end up having to be interviewed by the immigration and border force staff on re-entry.
Staying is one thing but living 3-6-9 months or longer is another. How do you want to pay for your living there? Finding work without papers isn't easy and living costs are high. Your savings will melt down and than what? What is your plan? https://www.schengenvisainfo.com/new...schengen-area/
I meant continental Europe, if he flys to Switzerland, he can cross the border to Germany and travel to any EU country on the continent, as a US citizen what could happen to him at the worst case, even if he spend years in France or whereever?
