Europe is quite a few countries all w. different rules. Many even consider the UK to be part of Europe now. You can leave the US for as long as you want. I always take pleasure in telling US customs that I've been away for x years and I'll be staying as long as I want, we still have the freedom not to be there for now anyway.
You may be better off listing the places you want to visit.

i.e. are they all in the E.U. ? "Europe" is the 2nd largest continent on the planet and contains a lot of different countries. Some will be happy to have you stay, some that won't.



If you are visiting all EU member countries, then you are good for 6 months I believe.How long can a US citizen travel in Europe before having to come back to the states?
That depends on the countries that you want to visit. My dad and step family live in Sweden and I visited them for a month in 1997 and did not need a visa. I belive the longest I could have stayed was 3 months before I would have needed a visa. The best way to find out would be to contact the US Consulates of the countries you wish to visit. The best web site I could find was at http://usembassy.state.gov/#AF. Hope this helps.
Theoretically you can travel within the EU for continued period of three month. However, all you have to do is leave the EU and get your passport stamped by a non EU member such as the Switzerland to extend your “allowed” time. Although it should be noted that:

a.It is not so easy to get your passport stamped in Switzerland unless you travel by plane (even then it is not certain that they will stamp your passport). Ironically you will find it easier to get your passport stamped by taking the Euro Star to the UK, then by traveling to real non EU state (although this will serve just as well).

b.No body will say boo if you stay longer. I staid inside the EU for over 2 years with out getting my passport stamped. I was traveling a lot and had my US passport checked numerous times with out hearing a pip about the fact that I have been there far and beyond the prohibited 3 month. (Nobody is going to kick you out of there country if you are spending American dollars. You could probably even go to Iran, but I would personally not test this theory out right now.)



Enjoy your trip.
Hi--I'm a US citizen currently living in Europe. There are no US laws restricting the amount of time you can spend away from the US on travel--so it's dependent on that country's laws. Some countries require you to have a visa to enter %26amp;/or stay for x amount of time, some do not. You can visit the US State Dept. website for travel information including security warnings %26amp; lots of other stuff worth checking out. If my memory serves me correctly, you can also get links to individual countries' embassy websites, where you can get info on their travel requirements. If not, a search engine will bring them up. If the countries require you to have a visa, contact their embassies as soon as possible as sometimes the application process can take a few weeks. %26amp; of course, you'll need to have your passport first. :) -Jess
