Overstaying a Schengen Visa, Fines or Penalties?

13 years ago
Hello everybody,

I may have to leave Europe in order to renew my tourist Visa (as an American I can return to Europe after 90 days and have an automatic tourist Visa).

But due to bizarre circumstances I may not be able to afford to leave until after my current Visa is expired.

My questions are:
-what will probably happen if I leave and if someone sees I overstayed?
-Will I not be allowed back in Europe until I can afford any Fines or Penalties?
-Or, is there a better strategy to try to avoid the Zoll depending on the mode of transportation I use to travel out of Europe?

Thank you.
