Schengen 90/180 calculator
Add your trips to the Schengen area and see how many of your 90 days you've used in the last 180, and how long you can stay next time. It counts days the same way as the European Commission's own calculator.
1 · Your trips to Schengen
Add every stay in the last 180 days and any trip you've booked. Entry and exit days both count.

This assumes the trips you listed are all your Schengen stays.
A first check, not legal advice. Border guards decide on entry, and days spent on a residence permit or long-stay (D) visa don't count.
How the 90/180 rule works
Non-EU visitors can usually stay in the Schengen area for up to 90 days in any 180-day period. The window moves: for every day you're there, count back 180 days, and the days of stay in that window can't add up to more than 90. The day you enter and the day you leave both count.
Time on a residence permit or a long-stay (D) visa doesn't count. So once your Spanish or Portuguese residence visa starts, those days stop eating into your 90 — but days you spend there as a visitor before it starts still count.
If you have a short-stay visa with a shorter permitted stay printed on it, that shorter limit applies instead.

Your days are now counted electronically
The EU's Entry/Exit System (EES) went live on 12 October 2025 and has been fully operational since 10 April 2026. Your passport is registered with fingerprints and a photo at the Schengen border, and every entry and exit is recorded, so it's worth keeping your own count accurate.

Staying longer than 90 days?
To live in a Schengen country you need a residence visa or permit. Our guides cover the main routes:
Questions about the 90/180 rule
How does the Schengen 90/180 rule work?
You can stay up to 90 days in any 180-day period. For each day you're in the Schengen area, count back 180 days (including that day): the days you spent there in that window can't add up to more than 90.
Do the entry and exit days count?
Yes. The day you enter counts as the first day of your stay and the day you leave counts as the last.
Do days on a residence permit or D visa count?
No. Time spent in the Schengen area on a residence permit or a long-stay (national D) visa isn't counted towards the 90 days.
Which countries are in the Schengen area?
29 countries: 25 EU member states plus Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland. Cyprus and Ireland are in the EU but not in Schengen.
Does the Entry/Exit System (EES) change the rule?
No, the 90/180 rule is the same. But since EES became fully operational on 10 April 2026, your entries and exits are recorded electronically, so overstays are easier for border guards to spot.
