I remember when we started the process for a D7 visa for Portugal, we also had a contingency plan if our application was not approved, or if we had to modify or resubmit: live in Panama for 6 months (I believe that was the allowed timeframe in 2021 to stay as a tourist), 3 months in Costa Rica and then Belize for 3 months. We felt that would have allowed ourselves the time to make revisions or research another European country to move to. Thankfully, it didn't come to that, but it's best to be as prepared as possible. - CW
Yes. For those who must, they could consider something like your alternate plan, or the "Schengen Shuffle." Hubby and I lived for years with contingency plans, codes to be sent by fax then phone, and other measures in case we had to leave earlier. Thankfully we made it (just barely) to my retirement.
