Schengen 90/180 Rule: How to Calculate

Written by Global Immigrate consultants · Reviewed by Oscar Yip, Founder & Managing Director

Summary

Rolling 90 days in any 180; residence-card rules differ.

Short answer: 90/180 means no more than 90 days in the Schengen Area in any continuous 180-day period — a rolling count, not a twice-yearly reset. Residence-card holders follow different rules.

FAQ

From planned exit, look back 180 days and sum days present.

Do residence cards use 90/180?

Long stay in the issuing state is different; short trips to other Schengen states still have rules.

Overstay consequences?

Fines, removal or future visa problems.
