My friend is from Chile and overstayed their Schengen visa in Spain by a few months.

I've read that the consequences of overstay can vary quite a bit across EU countries. Is there any information out there about how Spain specifically would treat her?

If she is has a ticket to fly to a non-EU country, say Morocco, would she be allowed to do so? Or would they likely deport her back to Chile (plus maybe fine her etc). My thinking was that if she has the ticket to exit the EU, they might not care so much as long as she leaves.

It depends a lot on her luck, and on the person handling her.

If she's leaving, odds are they will let her continue their travel to Morocco, as they only want you out and don't care where you go to. On the other hand, she will probably be banned for entering the Schengen area for a few years.
