Visa-exempt visitors can spend at most 90 days in any 180-day period inside the Schengen area — one shared limit across every Schengen country, not 90 days per country. Enter your past and planned trips and this free calculator counts the days inside the rolling window and shows exactly how many you have left.
The 90/180 Rule: You can stay up to 90 days within any 180-day period in the Schengen area. Enter your past and planned trips to see how many days you have left.
The rule is checked on every single day of your stay: look back 180 days from that day and count every day you were inside the Schengen area. The total must never exceed 90. It is a moving window — there is no fixed reset date, no calendar-quarter logic, and nothing resets when you re-enter.
The day you enter and the day you leave both count as full days of presence, regardless of the time you cross the border. Days spent in non-Schengen countries — the UK or Ireland, for example — do not count, even between two Schengen trips.
When ETIAS launches — it is not open for applications yet — visa-exempt travellers will need that authorization before boarding, but it does not extend the 90/180 limit or change how days are counted. Overstaying can mean fines, an entry ban and problems on future visa applications.
On any day you are in the Schengen area, count your days of presence during the previous 180 days — that number must never exceed 90. Because the window rolls forward daily, old trips gradually age out: a day spent in Schengen stops counting against you exactly 180 days later.
No. Leaving only stops new days from accruing; the days you already spent remain inside your trailing 180-day window until 180 days after each one. If you use the full 90 days in one stretch, you must stay out of the area for 90 days before the full allowance is available again.
Yes. The day you enter and the day you exit each count as one full day of presence, even if you land at 11 pm or leave at 6 am. A Friday-to-Sunday weekend in Paris uses three days of your allowance, not two.
It is one shared limit for the entire Schengen area. Crossing from France to Italy changes nothing — the counter keeps running. Time in non-Schengen European countries such as the UK or Ireland does not count toward it.
No. ETIAS — the EU's upcoming travel authorization, which is not yet open for applications — is an entry requirement, not a visa extension. The 90/180 limit stays exactly the same; for a longer stay you need a national long-stay visa or residence permit from a specific country.
This calculator is informational. Border authorities count from your passport's entry and exit records — and the EU's Entry/Exit System (EES), now being rolled out — and their count is authoritative. Charta Visa is a private company and is not affiliated with the EU or any government.
