Add your trips to calculate days used and remaining across all 29 Schengen countries
The Schengen 90/180 day rule means non-EU nationals can stay a maximum of 90 days in any rolling 180-day period across all 29 Schengen countries combined. The 180-day window rolls continuously — it is not fixed to calendar months or years. Both entry and exit days count as full days. Time spent in France, Spain, Germany and any other Schengen country all count toward the same 90-day limit. Since April 2026, the EES system automatically records all entries and exits, making compliance essential.

Yes. Both the entry date and the exit date count as full days of stay in the Schengen Area. This is confirmed by the European Commission's official short-stay visa calculator. For example, entering June 1 and leaving June 10 counts as 10 days — not 9.
There are 29 countries in the Schengen Area as of 2026: 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. Time spent in any of these 29 countries counts toward the same 90-day limit.
Yes. Since January 1, 2021, UK citizens are subject to the 90/180 day rule as third-country nationals. UK passport holders can stay maximum 90 days in any 180-day period across all 29 Schengen countries without a visa.
Overstaying is a serious violation. Consequences include fines, a ban from the Schengen Area (1-5 years), and an alert in the Schengen Information System (SIS). Since April 2026, the EES system automatically records all entries and exits, enabling the automatic detection of overstayers.
For any given day, look back at the previous 180 days and count all days spent in the Schengen Area. If the total is 90 days or less, you are compliant. The window moves forward continuously, which is why a calculator is essential for multiple-trip travelers.
