Unforeseeable and serious events

A third-country national can bring evidence that was forced to exceed the duration of authorised stay due to unforeseeable and serious events. However, those events only would be acceptable under circumstances which are not within the reach of the third-country national, i.e. force majeure (e.g. accident implying hospitalization, serious illness or injury, medical appointment; judicial decision; impediment due to natural causes; infectious diseases; revolutions and wars; strikes in airplanes, buses, trains, cancellation of a travel, etc.).
