This calculator applies the official "rolling 180-day period" rule used by Schengen authorities. For any given day (e.g., today, or a future travel date), the system looks back over the preceding 180 days and counts the total number of days you've been present in the Schengen Area. This cumulative count must not exceed 90 days.

Key points:

• The 180-day window is dynamic and moves with each day.
• Both the arrival and departure days are counted as full days of stay.
• The calculator helps you assess your current compliance and plan future trips by showing estimated days remaining.
• Disclaimer: This tool is designed for informational and planning purposes only and does not constitute legal travel advice. Entry and stay rules can change and individual circumstances vary. Always verify your travel eligibility with the official embassy or consulate of your destination country before traveling.

The 90/180-day rule permits citizens of many non-EU/EEA countries (those who don't need a visa for short stays, often referred to as "visa-waiver" nationals) to stay in the collective Schengen Area for a maximum of 90 days within *any* rolling 180-day period. It's crucial to understand that this 180-day window is not fixed (e.g., January to June) but is continuously recalculated by looking backward from any specific date of interest.

Overstaying your permitted time in the Schengen Area is a serious matter. Potential consequences include:

• Fines (which can be substantial).
• Immediate deportation from the Schengen Area.
• An entry ban for the Schengen Area, which can last from a few months to several years.
• Difficulties in obtaining future visas for Schengen countries or even other countries.
• A record of overstay, which can impact future travel globally.

It's always best to strictly adhere to the 90/180-day rule.

This calculator implements the standard interpretation of the 90/180-day rolling window rule, counting both entry and exit days. It is designed to be as accurate as possible based on the information you provide. However, it relies solely on the dates you input.

Important:

• Ensure all your past and planned Schengen entries and exits are accurately recorded.
• This tool cannot account for specific visa conditions, bilateral agreements between certain non-EU countries and individual Schengen states (though these are rare and often overridden by the general Schengen rule for short stays), or changes in immigration law that may occur.
• Always double-check with official sources or use the official calculator provided by the EU if available for your nationality, especially for critical travel plans.
