Calculate how many days you've spent in the Schengen Area and how many you have remaining. The Schengen 90/180 rule uses a rolling 180-day window, meaning for any given day, you can look back 180 days and must not have spent more than 90 days in the Schengen Area during that period.

The Schengen 90/180 rule states that non-EU visitors can stay in the Schengen Area for a maximum of 90 days within any 180-day period. This is not a simple "90 days then leave for 90 days" rule. Instead, it uses a rolling window that moves forward each day.
Example:
If you're checking on March 1, 2026, the system looks back to September 3, 2025 (180 days ago) and counts all days you were present in Schengen during that period. Both entry and exit days count.
This rolling calculation means that days gradually "expire" from your count as they fall outside the 180-day window. You don't need to leave for a full 90 days to reset—you just need to wait for enough old days to drop off the rolling window so you're back under 90 cumulative days.
The rule is 90 calendar days, not 3 months. Months have different lengths, so always count actual days.
Both entry and exit days count toward your 90 days. Even a same-day visit counts as 1 day.
Multiple trips add up. Track all entries and exits carefully to avoid accidentally exceeding 90 days.
UK, Ireland, Cyprus, Romania, and Bulgaria are NOT in Schengen. Time there doesn't count.
Trip: January 1, 2026 to March 10, 2026 (69 days)
Evaluation date: March 15, 2026
Result: 69 days used, 21 days remaining
You can return for another 21 days anytime, but those 69 days will only start dropping off after 180 days from each respective day passes.
Trip 1: January 10-25, 2026 (16 days)
Trip 2: February 15 - March 5, 2026 (20 days)
Trip 3: March 20 - April 10, 2026 (22 days)
Evaluation date: April 15, 2026
Result: 58 days used (16 + 20 + 22), 32 days remaining
All three trips fall within the 180-day window as of April 15, so all days count toward your total.
