Ninety days. In any one hundred and eighty.
The rule that catches out everybody with a holiday home in Malta, Spain or France — because it is not a calendar year and it does not reset on the first of January. Put in every entry and exit and this works out where you stand today, and the first day you are free to go back.
Who does the 90/180 rule apply to?
Anyone visiting the Schengen area without a residence permit or a national visa of a Schengen country. Since 1 January 2021 that includes British citizens: a UK passport is a visa-free third-country passport, and visa-free means ninety days, not unlimited.
What does “90 days in any 180” actually mean?
It is not a calendar allowance that resets in January. On every single day you are in the area, the previous 180 days are counted backwards, and no more than 90 of them may have been spent inside. Days drop out of that window one by one, which is why the counter also tells you the first day you are free again.
Do arrival and departure days count?
Yes. Both count as full days inside, even if you land at 23:40 and leave at 06:00.
Is Ireland or Cyprus in this?
No. Ireland is not in Schengen, and Cyprus is in the EU but not yet in the Schengen area. Days there do not count towards this 90.
Does this counter store my travel history?
Not with us. Everything is worked out in your own browser. The dates stay on your device, and the only way they leave it is if you press “copy a link” and send that link yourself. We have no account, no database and no idea who you are.
We built this because we needed it ourselves. It is the same thing we do for clients: take the one calculation a business keeps doing by hand, and put it on their site so it answers the question before anyone has to ask.
