The Schengen Area operates under a strict 90/180-day rule for short-stay visitors. This means you can stay up to 90 days within any rolling 180-day period. Our calculator automatically tracks your visa days remaining and alerts you to potential violations before they occur.
The 90/180-day rule is often misunderstood. The 180-day period "looks backward" from any given day to count your past stays in the Schengen Area. This rolling calculation means that every day, a new 180-day window begins, and you must ensure you haven't exceeded 90 days within that period.
Both your entry day and exit day count as full days, even if you arrive late or leave early. If you enter on Monday and leave on Friday, that counts as 5 days (Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday).
There's no fixed start date. The 180-day period is a rolling window that moves every day. On any given day, you count back 180 days and check if you've stayed more than 90 days within that period.
Overstaying can result in serious consequences including fines (up to €500+ in some countries), entry bans (1-10 years), deportation, and difficulties obtaining future visas. Always depart by day 88-89 for safety.
No, you cannot reset your allowance by briefly leaving. You must wait until enough time has passed so that looking back 180 days, you have fewer than 90 days of stays recorded.
Yes, the 90/180-day rule applies to the entire Schengen Area as one zone. This includes 27 countries sharing the same visa-free short-stay allowance. Some countries have bilateral agreements that may provide exceptions, but these are rare.
