Your trips

The rule this counts by

Schengen short stay, 90 days in any 180EU / Schengen area. How this rule counts days.

  • The 180-day window is not fixed: it is counted backwards from each day of stay.
  • Both the day of entry and the day of exit count as days of stay.
  • Time spent in Schengen states under a residence permit or long-stay visa is outside this rule.
  • Days are counted only for absences whose countries are all in the Schengen area; a mixed itinerary is counted in full and flagged.

For intended stays on the territory of the Member States of a duration of no more than 90 days in any 180-day period, which entails considering the 180-day period preceding each day of stay

the date of entry shall be considered as the first day of stay on the territory of the Member States and the date of exit shall be considered as the last day of stay on the territory of the Member States

The Schengen area is composed of 29 countries: 25 EU Member States and 4 non-EU countries (Iceland, Norway, Switzerland and Liechtenstein).
