SCHENGEN STAY

How many Schengen days do you have left?

Enter past and planned stays and a check date. The tool counts days in the 180-day window ending on that date. It is not legal advice.

READ BEFORE YOU GO

Understand the calculation

How it works, examples, limits and sources behind the tool.

01

How it works

From the check date, the window runs 179 days back plus that day. Every calendar day of presence in the window counts, including the day you enter and the day you leave. Days before the window are ignored. The short-stay limit used here is 90 days.

Stays are counted in calendar days, not hotel nights. A Tuesday-to-Tuesday trip that includes both dates is 8 days if you are in the area on both Tuesdays, not 7 nights. The tool is a sketch of the 90/180 arithmetic, not a decision on your passport.

02

Worked example

Entering on 1 June and leaving on 15 June is 15 days, not 14. A stay from 1 January to 31 March 2026 is 90 days; on 31 March none remain. After those days roll out of the window, capacity returns one day at a time.

Two trips: 1–20 January (20 days) and 1–20 June (20 days). On 20 June 2026 they still add to 40 days — January is still inside the window that starts 23 December. On 20 July, January has rolled out and only the June stay remains. Enter the check date you care about (a planned entry, or today) rather than summing every trip you ever took.

03

When to use it

Use it to sketch visa-free or Type C short stays across multiple trips, not to decide whether you may board. Nationality, visa type and extra agreements change the rule.

Use it when a second Schengen trip sits inside 180 days of the first. Long-stay visas, residence, and non-Schengen states (the UK, Ireland) are outside this model.

04

Common mistakes

Counting nights instead of calendar days under-counts by one. Treating 90 days as a block you can repeat after a 90-day wait is also wrong: the window keeps rolling. The UK and Ireland are not in Schengen.

Airport transit without entering, and days in a country that applies a different agreement, are not modelled. Do not fill this form from hotel nights on a booking. Entry and exit stamps, if they exist, still belong with the official calculator.

05

Basis and limits

The 90/180 method follows the EU short-stay description. This page does not apply the official calculator to your passport, does not cover long-stay visas, and cannot see days stamped in a passport. Confirm with authorities and the EU short-stay calculator.

The tool does not know which states were in Schengen on a given date, and it does not give legal advice. If a stay is close to 90, use the Commission’s calculator and the border you will actually cross.

Quick answers

How does the Schengen 90/180 rule work?

You may stay up to 90 days in any rolling 180-day window. Both the entry day and the exit day count. This is not legal advice.

Do entry and exit days count?

Yes. If you enter on 1 June and leave on 15 June, that is 15 days, not 14.

Can I use this for a visa deadline?

No. Confirm stays with official documents and the EU short-stay calculator. Rules differ by nationality and visa type.
