Frequently asked questions
How does the Schengen 90/180-day rule work?
On each check date, look back over that date and the preceding 179 calendar days. A basic short stay normally cannot exceed 90 counted days within that rolling 180-day window, subject to the traveller’s visa, status and applicable exceptions.
Do entry and exit days count for Schengen stays?
Yes. For the basic short-stay calculation, both the entry date and exit date count as days of stay.
Does an unused-day number guarantee a future stay?
No. The number describes the selected check date and recorded trips. It does not guarantee admission or permission for a proposed full stay, and a visa sticker may authorize fewer days.
Should residence-permit or long-stay-visa periods be entered?
The basic short-stay 90/180 calculation may not govern periods authorized by a residence permit or long-stay visa. Review the European Commission instructions and your own status before entering or relying on those periods.
