Schengen short stay: 90 days in any 180

A Schengen visa allows a short visit of up to 90 days in any 180-day period. The 180-day window moves with every day of your stay.

Example

Illustrative. 60 days in spring and 40 days in summer inside the same 180 days → 100 days: too many.

Before you book

  • ☐ List past entry and exit dates
  • ☐ Count days in the last 180
  • ☐ Plan the new trip inside the limit
