Do entry and exit days both count toward the 90 days?

Yes. Both the day you enter and the day you exit the Schengen zone are counted as full days. This is the interpretation used by most Schengen member states and the European Commission's official guidance.

How does the 180-day rolling window work?

The 180-day window is not a fixed half-year. For any given day, authorities look back 180 days from that date and count how many of those days you were present in the Schengen zone. As each day passes, old days drop off the window — so unused allowance accumulates over time.

What happens if I overstay my 90 days?

Overstaying the 90-day limit is a violation of Schengen rules and can result in fines, entry bans, deportation, and difficulties obtaining future Schengen visas. Always check your remaining days before planning travel.

Q: What is the Schengen 90/180-day rule?

The Schengen 90/180-day rule means non-EU/EEA nationals without a long-stay visa can spend a maximum of 90 days in the Schengen zone within any 180-day rolling window. The window moves backwards from the current date — it is not a fixed calendar period.

Q: Which countries are in the Schengen zone?

The Schengen zone includes 29 countries: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, and Switzerland.

Questions

How the 90/180 rule works

What is the Schengen 90/180-day rule?

Non-EU/EEA nationals without a long-stay visa may spend at most 90 days in the Schengen zone within any 180-day rolling window. The window is not a fixed half-year — it slides backward from the current date. That means yesterday's count already accounts for a 180-day period ending yesterday.

Do entry and exit days both count?

Yes. The European Commission and most member states count both the day of entry and the day of exit as full Schengen days. This calculator uses that interpretation. When in doubt, be conservative and count both days.

How does the rolling window reset?

There is no hard reset. Each day that passes, the oldest day drops off the 180-day window. If you spent day X in Schengen, day X will stop counting against your limit exactly 180 days after day X. Your allowance replenishes gradually — not all at once.

What are the consequences of overstaying?

Overstaying can result in fines at the border, a re-entry ban of up to several years, deportation, and difficulty obtaining future Schengen or EU visas. Keeping a verifiable record of your travel dates is the safest way to demonstrate compliance.

Does this calculator account for long-stay visas or residency?

No. This calculator applies the standard 90/180 rule for short-stay visitors. If you hold a national long-stay visa (Type D), a residence permit, or EU/EEA citizenship, different rules apply and you should consult the relevant national authority or a qualified immigration adviser.
