How the Schengen 90/180 rule works

90
Maximum days in the Schengen Area in any 180-day period
180
A rolling window that moves every day — not a calendar year
29
Schengen countries in 2026, counted together as one area

Non-EU visitors may stay in the Schengen Area for up to 90 days in any 180-day period. On every day of your stay, look back over the 180 days ending on that day (including it). If you have been in Schengen on more than 90 of those days, you are overstaying.

What counts as a day

  • Every calendar day you are physically in any Schengen country counts — including the day you arrive and the day you leave, even if you land at 23:00.
  • All 29 countries share one counter. Moving from France to Italy does not reset anything.
  • Days in non-Schengen countries (UK, Ireland, Cyprus, Turkey, Albania, Serbia…) do not count.

Worked example

You enter on 1 March and leave on 30 April — that is 61 days. You want to come back on 1 June. Looking back 180 days from 1 June, all 61 days are still in the window, so you have 29 days left: you can stay until 29 June. Only from late August do the March days start to drop out of the window. The calculator above does this check for every day automatically.

Common mistakes

  • Thinking the count resets on 1 January or every six months — it never resets, the window rolls daily.
  • Forgetting that entry and exit days count as full days.
  • Assuming 90 days per country — the limit is for the whole Schengen Area.
  • Assuming a Schengen visa’s validity overrides the rule — visa holders must respect both the visa’s dates and the 90/180 limit.

EES: your days are now counted automatically

Since 10 April 2026 the EU Entry/Exit System (EES) records every entry and exit of non-EU short-stay travellers digitally, replacing passport stamps. Border guards can see your remaining days instantly and overstays are flagged automatically, so keeping your own count accurate matters more than ever. The EES does not change the 90/180 rule itself.

The 29 Schengen countries

The Schengen Area has 29 member countries with no passport controls between them. Bulgaria and Romania became full members on 1 January 2025. Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland are in Schengen but not in the EU. Cyprus and Ireland are in the EU but not in Schengen, so days there do not count.

Frequently asked questions

How does the 90/180 rule work?

Non-EU/EEA nationals can spend at most 90 days in the Schengen Area within any 180-day period. The 180-day window is checked backwards from every single day of your stay, so it moves forward one day at a time.

Do the entry and exit days count?

Yes. The day you enter and the day you leave both count as full days in Schengen, no matter what time you cross the border. A same-day trip counts as one day.

Can I stay 90 days, leave for 90 days and come back?

Yes. If you spend 90 consecutive days in Schengen and then stay outside for 90 days, the earlier days have left the 180-day window and you have a fresh 90 days. Shorter breaks only free up the days that have dropped out of the window.

Does the count reset on 1 January or when I leave?

No. There is no reset date. The window is always the 180 days ending on the day being checked, so leaving only helps as old days roll out of that window.

Which countries are in the Schengen Area in 2026?

Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czechia, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland — 29 countries.

Do days in the UK, Ireland or Cyprus count?

No. The UK, Ireland and Cyprus are not part of the Schengen Area, and neither are non-EU countries such as Turkey, Albania, Serbia or Montenegro. Time spent there does not count towards your 90 days.

I have a Schengen visa. Does the 90/180 rule apply to me?

Yes. You must stay within the validity dates printed on your visa, within the number of days allowed on it, and within the 90/180 rule — all at the same time. A multiple-entry visa valid for several years still only allows 90 days in any 180.

What is the EES and does it change the rule?

The Entry/Exit System (EES) has been fully operational since 10 April 2026. It registers non-EU travellers’ entries and exits with fingerprints and a facial image instead of passport stamps and calculates the days used automatically. The 90/180 rule itself is unchanged.

Do I need ETIAS?

ETIAS is a travel authorisation for visa-exempt travellers. As of October 2026 it is not yet in operation; the EU will announce the start date several months in advance. It will not change the 90/180 limit.

What happens if I overstay?

Overstaying can lead to fines, removal, an entry ban and problems with future visa applications. With the EES, overstays are recorded automatically at exit.

Do EU citizens or residence permit holders need to follow the rule?

EU, EEA and Swiss citizens have free movement and are not limited. If you hold a residence permit from a Schengen country, days in that country do not count, but the 90/180 rule applies to stays in the other Schengen countries.

Is this calculator official?

No. It applies the standard 90/180 rule to the dates you enter and is for information only. Some nationalities have bilateral agreements that allow extra time in specific countries, which this tool does not model. Border guards have the final say.
