The rule

How the 90/180-day rule works

Short-stay travellers can spend up to 90 days in any 180-day period in the Schengen area. It's one shared count for all 29 countries, not 90 days per country, and it applies whether you travel visa-free or on a Schengen visa.

Look back 180 days from every day

There are no fixed half-years. On each day of your stay, count the days you spent in Schengen during the 180 days up to and including that day. If the total is ever above 90, you've overstayed.

Entry and exit days both count

The day you arrive is your first day and the day you leave is your last, even if you land at 23:00 or fly out at 06:00. Arriving and leaving on the same day counts as one day.

Days come back one at a time

There's no reset date. Each day spent in Schengen stops counting 180 days later, so time becomes available gradually as old trips leave the window.

A worked example

You spent 50 days in Germany, from 10 January to 28 February 2026. Enter again on 1 May and you can stay 40 days, until 9 June, because the 180 days before 9 June still include all 50 of those days. Enter on 30 May instead and you can stay the full 90 days, until 27 August: from 9 July, one January or February day leaves the window for every new day you add.

What counts

What counts toward your 90 days, and what doesn't

Only time inside the Schengen area counts. The reason for the trip doesn't matter: business trips, conferences and holidays all use the same days.

Counts toward the 90 days

  • Days in any of the 29 Schengen countries, added together
  • Bulgaria and Romania, full Schengen members since 1 January 2025
  • Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland, which are in Schengen but not in the EU
  • Your entry day and your exit day, however few hours you spend on them

Doesn't count

  • Ireland and Cyprus: in the EU but not in Schengen, with their own entry rules
  • The United Kingdom and other countries outside Schengen
  • Time spent under a residence permit or long-stay (type D) visa issued by a Schengen country
  • Changing planes at a Schengen airport without going through passport control
Visa holders

On a Schengen visa? Your sticker has its own limits

Your stay has to fit the 90/180 rule and what's printed on your visa. Tick the visa option in the calculator to check both at once.

Valid from and until

Every day of your stay must fall between these dates. You can't stay past the end date, even if you still have days left under the 90/180 rule.

Number of entries

1, 2 or MULT. Each arrival from outside the Schengen area uses one entry. Once they're used up, the visa can't be used to enter again, even if it's still valid.

Duration of stay

If your visa is valid for more than 180 days, this field shows 90 and means 90 days in any 180-day period. On a shorter visa, it's the total number of days you can spend in Schengen on that visa.
A new visa never resets your count. Days spent on an earlier visa, or visa-free, still count in the 180-day look-back.
Since April 2026

The Entry/Exit System now counts your days at the border

The EU Entry/Exit System (EES) started on 12 October 2025 and has been fully operational since 10 April 2026. It applies to non-EU citizens on short stays, whether they travel visa-free or on a visa.
No more passport stamps. At your first EES crossing your passport details, fingerprints and a facial image are registered. After that, every entry and exit is logged digitally.
Overstays are flagged automatically. The system calculates your authorised stay from your recorded entries and exits and alerts the authorities when it's exceeded.
Plan before you book. EES records what has already happened. Use the calculator to check trips you haven't taken yet, and keep your own record of travel dates.
