Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Schengen 90/180 day rule?

The Schengen 90/180 day rule allows non-EU citizens to stay in the Schengen Area for a maximum of 90 days within any rolling 180-day period. This means the calculation is not based on calendar years but on a moving window that looks back 180 days from any given date.

Which countries are in the Schengen Area?

The Schengen Area includes 29 European 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. Bulgaria and Romania became full members on 1 January 2025, so days spent there now count toward your 90/180 total. Ireland and Cyprus are EU members but are not in the Schengen Area.

What happens if I overstay in the Schengen Area?

Overstaying the 90-day limit can result in fines, deportation, and entry bans ranging from 1 to 5 years depending on the country and duration of overstay. Some countries are stricter than others. It is strongly recommended to track your days carefully and leave before reaching the 90-day limit.

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

Yes, both the day you enter and the day you exit the Schengen Area count as full days toward your 90-day allowance. Even if you arrive at 11:59 PM, that entire day counts. Plan your trips accordingly to maximize your stay.

Can I reset my Schengen days by leaving and re-entering?

No, simply leaving and re-entering does not reset the counter. The rule uses a rolling 180-day window, so days spent in Schengen are always counted within the past 180 days. To regain days, you must wait until those days fall outside the 180-day lookback window.

How does the EU Entry/Exit System (EES) affect the 90/180 count?

The Entry/Exit System has been running at every Schengen external border since 10 April 2026. It registers your face and fingerprints on first entry and then records each crossing electronically, so border officers see an automatic running total of your 90/180 days instead of counting passport stamps. Miscounted or missing stamps no longer help you, the system tracks overstays directly. Keep your own record anyway so you know where you stand before you travel. ETIAS, the separate travel authorisation for visa-exempt visitors, has not launched yet; the EU is targeting late 2026 but the date has slipped repeatedly, and it will not change the 90/180 rule when it does arrive.
