How the 90/180 rolling window works
For any day you are in the Schengen Area, look back 180 days. The total number of days you spent inside Schengen during that window โ including today โ must not exceed 90. The window slides forward every day, which means yesterday's math is not the same as today's.
It is not a calendar-year allowance. It does not reset on 1 January, on your birthday, or when you leave and re-enter. The only way days come off your total is by waiting โ a trip only disappears from the tally 180 days after your last day inside the area.
EES is now live across the Schengen Area. Every entry and exit is recorded biometrically โ the old โmissed stampโ excuse no longer works. See how our EES tracking feature helps โ

Common mistakes
- โSchengen = EU.โ It doesn't. Ireland and Cyprus are EU but not Schengen. Norway, Iceland, Switzerland and Liechtenstein are Schengen but not EU.
- โ90 days = 3 months.โ It's 90 actual days, not three calendar months. Miscounting here is the most common overstay trigger.
- โMy counter resets when I leave.โ No โ the rolling window still catches recent trips the next time you enter.
- โA visa extends my allowance.โ A short-stay Schengen visa is subject to the same 90/180 rule. Only a national long-stay visa or residence permit changes the math.

Frequently asked questions
How does the Schengen 90/180 day rule actually work?+
For any given day, count the number of days you have spent inside the Schengen Area during the previous 180 days (including that day). That total cannot exceed 90. The 180-day window is rolling โ it slides forward every day, so you do not get a fresh allowance at any fixed point.
Does Croatia count towards my 90 days?+
Yes. Croatia joined the Schengen Area on 1 January 2023, so stays in Croatia count the same as stays in France, Germany, Spain or any other Schengen state.
Do Bulgaria and Romania count towards my 90 days?+
Yes. Both Bulgaria and Romania became full Schengen members on 1 January 2025 for land, air and sea borders. Days spent there now count towards the 90/180 total.
Does a Schengen visa give me extra time?+
No. A short-stay Schengen visa (Type C) authorises you to enter, but you still cannot spend more than 90 days in any 180. A national long-stay visa (Type D) or residence permit is different โ those days generally do not count against the 90/180 limit.
What happens if I overstay?+
Consequences range from a warning stamp to fines, deportation, and multi-year entry bans. With EES now live across the Schengen Area, overstays are logged automatically โ there is no more "missed stamp" loophole.
Is the day I enter and the day I leave both counted?+
Yes. Both the entry day and the exit day count as full days inside Schengen, even if you were only there for a few hours.
Do Ireland or the UK count as Schengen?+
No. Ireland, the United Kingdom, Cyprus and non-Schengen microstates are outside the common travel area for these rules. Time spent there does not count against your 90/180 allowance.
Does my counter reset on January 1st?+
No. The rolling 180-day window does not reset at the start of the year or when your visa is renewed. The only way to reset is to spend enough consecutive days outside Schengen for old trips to fall out of the 180-day lookback.
