Key Rules

Understand how the 90/180 limit is applied at the border.

Each day (including arrival and departure) counts as a full day toward the 90-day total.

The 180-day window slides forward daily; days older than 180 drop off automatically.

National stay limits may differ from Schengen rules. Check specific country policies.

Rolling 180-Day Window

Count back 180 days from each planned date to ensure total stay does not exceed 90 days.

Keep Entry Proof

Maintain boarding passes and passport stamps to verify your travel history at the border.

Plan Buffer Days

Leave at least 3-5 days unused to account for delays or unexpected extensions.

How the 90/180 Rule Works

Step-by-step explanation of the rolling window calculation for visa-free travelers.

The 90/180 rule measures your stay across any rolling 180-day period, not by calendar half-years.

To check compliance for a future trip, take your intended entry date and look 180 days back. Add all Schengen days in that window.

Different visa categories may allow longer stays. This tool focuses on visa-exempt short stays.
