✓ Updated for EES — April 2026 Active across all Schengen borders.

Ninety days. A rolling 180-day window.

The math is unforgiving, the new biometric system never sleeps, and one missed day can cost you years of access to Europe. We do the counting — calmly, exactly, free.

How it works

Three inputs.
One precise answer.

The 90/180 rule is simple in spirit and brutal in arithmetic. We take your stamps, walk the rolling window for every day of your trip, and surface the exact moment it tips.

01

Log your past trips

Every entry and exit from the last six months. Country is optional — the EU treats Schengen as one bloc, so we do too.

02

Add a planned trip

Optional. Drop in the dates of an itinerary you're considering, and we'll roll the window across every single day of the stay.

03

Read your verdict

Days used, days remaining, the date your oldest stamp finally drops off — and an unambiguous Cleared or Denied for any future trip.

Borders · April 2026

The stamp is dead.
Biometrics took its job.

The EU Entry/Exit System (EES) has been fully operational across every Schengen border since April 10, 2026. Fingerprints, facial scans, and automated overstay detection have replaced the inky passport stamp. The rules didn't change — the enforcement did.

The rule, precisely.

Every answer the EU's own guidance gives, plus the parts they leave out. Tap any question.

01 What is the Schengen 90/180 day rule? +
Non-EU citizens may spend a maximum of 90 days inside the Schengen Area within any rolling 180-day window. It applies whether you split a long stay into many trips or take one continuous one — the bloc is treated as a single jurisdiction.
02 Does the 90 days reset when I leave? +
No. The 180-day window is rolling, which means it moves forward one day every day. Days only "free up" once they fall outside the trailing 180 from your reference date — they don't reset because you crossed a border.
03 Do transit and partial days count? +
Once you clear passport control inbound, that calendar date is a full Schengen day — even a two-hour layover. Same on departure. There are no half-days; there are only days.
04 What happens if I overstay? +
Outcomes range from a fine, to deportation, to a multi-year entry ban across the entire Schengen Area. EES detects the overstay automatically; appealing is expensive and slow.
05 Does EES change the underlying rule? +
No — the 90/180 rule is unchanged. What changed is enforcement: a database, not a border guard, now does the arithmetic. The margin for human error vanished in both directions.
06 Which countries count? +
All 29 Schengen states: 25 EU members plus Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, and Switzerland. Ireland, Cyprus, and the UK are outside it. Bulgaria and Romania joined fully in 2025.
07 Can I extend a stay beyond 90 days? +
Not as a tourist. You'd need a long-stay national visa — a digital nomad visa, work permit, student visa, or similar — issued by a specific member state. Those are out of scope of the 90/180 rule.
08 Is this calculator legally authoritative? +
It uses the same rolling-window calculation method the EU itself mandates. For high-stakes decisions, always cross-check against the official EU short-stay calculator and your own EES records.
