Who Should Use This Schengen Stay Tracker?

This tool helps third country nationals (TCNs) track their legal stay within the Schengen Zone. It also supports authorities monitoring travel through the EU Entry/Exit System (EES).

Third country nationals who require a visa must apply for a Schengen Visa, issued under common EU rules. Travelers are checked at the Schengen external borders using systems like SIS and VIS, soon to be enhanced by EES and ETIAS, improving both security and travel efficiency across Europe.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Schengen 90/180 day rule? Non-EU nationals visiting the Schengen Area can stay for a maximum of 90 days within any rolling 180 day period. On any given day, you must not have spent more than 90 days in the Schengen Zone during the previous 180 days.

How many countries are in the Schengen Area? 29 countries: 25 of the 27 EU member states plus Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, and Switzerland. Cyprus and Ireland are not part of the Schengen Area.

How does the rolling 180 day window work? The 180 day window is not a fixed calendar period. It rolls forward each day. On any given day, border authorities look back 180 days and count how many days you spent in the Schengen Area. You must not exceed 90 in any such window.

What happens if I overstay the 90 day limit? Overstaying can result in fines, deportation, entry bans, and future visa refusals. Penalties vary by country but can affect your ability to travel to any Schengen member state.

Does the 90/180 rule apply to EU citizens? No. EU/EEA citizens and Swiss nationals have free movement rights and are not subject to the 90/180 day rule. It applies to third country nationals.

Are both entry and exit days counted? Yes. Both the day you enter and the day you exit count as full days of stay. Arriving January 1 and departing January 3 counts as 3 days.

When did Romania and Bulgaria join? They became full Schengen members on 1 January 2025. Air and sea border controls were lifted on 31 March 2024, land borders on 1 January 2025.

Is StaySchengen free to use? Yes. Completely free. Use the calculator without an account, or create a free account to save your travel history across devices.

What is ETIAS? ETIAS (European Travel Information and Authorisation System) is an upcoming pre-travel screening system for visa exempt travelers. Once live, travelers apply online before their trip. The 90/180 rule still applies.

Can I split my 90 days across multiple trips? Yes. You can take multiple trips within the 180 day window. The calculator tracks all entries and exits to show total days used and remaining allowance.

The Schengen Zone Calculator is an informational tool only and does not grant legal right to remain in the Schengen Area. Final decisions on stays and overstays rest with Member State authorities.
