Schengen 90/180 day calculator
Non-EU visitors can spend up to 90 days in any rolling 180-day window within the Schengen area. Enter your past Schengen stays and the calculator shows how many days you’ve used, how many remain, and whether a planned upcoming stay would put you over the limit — including the earliest compliant re-entry date if so.
1. Past Schengen stays
Add date ranges of any Schengen entries in the last 180 days. Entry day and exit day both count.
Days used in the 180-day window ending today: 0 / 90
Remaining available right now: 90 days
2. Planned upcoming stay (optional)
See whether a future stay would put you over the 90-day limit.
Schengen 90/180 rule
Non-EU short-term visitors can spend up to 90 days in any rolling 180-day window within the Schengen area (currently 29 countries including most of the EU plus Switzerland, Norway, Iceland, Liechtenstein, and newly Croatia and Romania/Bulgaria).
Every day of the stay counts, including entry and exit. Overstaying can result in fines, entry bans, or future visa denials. National long-stay visas (D-type, including all covered nomad visas in EU countries) don’t count against this 90/180 limit — they authorize separate residence.
Planning a longer EU stay?
If you consistently run close to the 90-day limit, a digital nomad visa solves the problem. Covered EU nomad-visa countries:
Schengen 90/180 rule — frequently asked questions
- How does the Schengen 90/180 day rule work?
- The Schengen 90/180 rule lets non-EU visitors stay a maximum of 90 days within any rolling 180-day period across the Schengen area. On any given day you count back 180 days and add up every day you were present — that running total must never exceed 90.
- Do the days of entry and exit count toward the 90 days?
- Yes. Both the day you enter and the day you leave the Schengen area count as full days of presence, even if you only cross the border for a few hours on either date.
- Which countries are in the Schengen area in 2026?
- As of 2026 the Schengen area covers 29 European countries: Croatia joined in 2023, and Bulgaria and Romania became full members when their land borders were lifted in January 2025. Days spent in any of them count toward the same 90/180 allowance, so moving from France to Spain does not reset the clock.
- Does a digital nomad visa or residence permit count toward the 90/180 limit?
- No. Days spent on a national long-stay visa (type D) or residence permit — including most digital nomad visas — are not counted against the 90-day short-stay allowance. The 90/180 limit applies only to short-stay, visa-exempt or type-C visits.
- Can I reset the 90 days by leaving and re-entering?
- No. The 180-day window is rolling, not fixed, so a quick exit does not reset your allowance. You regain days only as older days of presence drop out of the back of the 180-day window — the calculator shows the earliest date you can re-enter while staying compliant.
- What happens if I overstay the 90 days in Schengen?
- Overstaying can lead to fines, removal, and an entry ban of up to several years recorded in the Schengen Information System, which can jeopardise future Schengen visa, ETIAS, and residence-permit applications.
