I went through departure passport control as usual. The border officer handed my passport back without stamping it. I challenged this and he said it wasn't necessary.
However, I have previously been challenged (ironically also in Italy) by a frontier officer to show that I had spent less than 90 of the past 180 days in the EU. If they don’t stamp you out, there is no way of proving this. After pushing for it, I finally got my passport stamped today but other people in the queue didn’t. What’s your view on this?
