How the 90/180 rule works
Non-EU visitors may stay in the Schengen Area for up to 90 days in any 180-day period. The 180-day window moves every day: on any given date, look back 180 days and count every day you spent in Schengen, including entry and exit days. That total must never exceed 90.
The Schengen Area has 29 countries, including most of the EU plus Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland. Ireland and Cyprus are not part of it.
Overstaying
Overstays can lead to fines, deportation and entry bans, and since the EU Entry/Exit System (EES) records entries and exits digitally, overstays are detected automatically. Plan with a margin of a few days.
The 29 Schengen countries
Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland. Days spent in any of them count towards the same 90-day limit. Ireland and Cyprus are in the EU but not in Schengen, so days there are counted separately.
New EU entry checks
The EU Entry/Exit System (EES) now records non-EU travellers' entries and exits electronically, with fingerprints and a photo, instead of passport stamps. That makes overstays easier to detect automatically, so counting your days correctly matters more than ever.
ETIAS, a travel authorisation for visa-exempt visitors, is not yet in operation; the EU will announce its start date several months in advance. Until then, visa-free travellers don't need to apply for anything before visiting.
Frequently asked questions
Do entry and exit days count?
Yes. Both the day you enter and the day you leave count as full days in the Schengen Area.
Does the rule apply per country?
No. The 90 days are shared across all Schengen countries together.
Does it apply if I have a residence permit?
Days spent in a Schengen country where you hold a residence permit or long-stay visa do not count towards the 90 days.
Can I leave Schengen for a day and reset the 90 days?
No. The 180-day window keeps rolling, so a short trip outside only pauses the count. Days drop off only once they are more than 180 days in the past.
