The answer respects your later trips too: a new stay must not push any planned day over 90.
What is the Schengen 90/180 rule?
A visitor from outside the EU may stay in the Schengen area for at most 90 days in any 180-day period. On each day of a stay, count the days spent in the area during the 180 days that end on that day. The total must never be more than 90.
Do the entry and exit days count?
Yes. The Schengen Borders Code counts the date of entry as the first day of stay and the date of exit as the last day. A trip from 1 to 10 March is 10 days. A day in two member countries, such as a drive from France to Italy, counts once.
Does the count reset after 180 days?
No. The 180-day period moves forward one day at a time. Each day, the oldest day leaves the window and the new day enters it. So a day spent in the area stops counting exactly 180 days later, and not on a fixed reset date.
An example: two trips, how many days are left?
You entered the Schengen area on 10 Mar 2026 and left on 25 Mar 2026: 16 days, both end dates included. You enter again on 1 Jun 2026. On that day the 180-day period runs from 4 Dec 2025 to 1 Jun 2026 and counts 17 days (16 from the first trip plus the day of entry), so 73 days are left. You can stay until 13 Aug 2026, a stay of 74 days: the day of entry, already counted, plus the 73 days left.
Which countries are in the Schengen area?
29 countries: 25 EU member states and Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland. Bulgaria and Romania are members. Cyprus and Ireland are EU members outside the area, so days there do not count towards the 90.
Who must follow the 90/180 rule?
Non-EU nationals on a short stay, with or without a visa. It does not apply to citizens of the EU, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway or Switzerland. Days under a residence permit or a long-stay visa of a member country also do not count.
How do border guards check my days?
The Entry/Exit System (EES) records each entry and exit of non-EU visitors at the external borders. It became fully operational on 10 April 2026 and replaces passport stamps. It calculates the remaining days and detects overstays automatically.
How the calculator counts
- Every day from the entry date to the exit date counts, both included.
- Overlapping trips count each day once, because the area is one zone.
- On each day of stay, it counts the days in the 180 days that end on that day. A day with more than 90 is over the limit.
- For a planned trip, it adds one day at a time and stops before any day of any trip goes over 90, later trips included.
- It does not know about residence permits, long-stay visas or bilateral visa-waiver agreements. Leave out days covered by a permit or visa.
