How the 90/180 rule works
The Schengen area is governed by Regulation (EU) 2016/399, the Schengen Borders Code. Article 6 allows third-country nationals (including Indian passport holders on short-stay visas) to stay a maximum of 90 days in any 180-day period.
The 180-day window is rolling, not fixed. On any given day, border officers count backwards exactly 180 days and sum the number of days you were inside the Schengen area during that window. If the total is 90 or less, you're compliant. If it's over 90, you have overstayed.
Both the entry day and the exit day count as full days inside Schengen, regardless of what time of day you crossed the border.
The rule applies to the Schengen area as a whole — not per country. 30 days in France followed by 30 days in Germany counts as 60 days used, not 30.
Which countries are in the Schengen area?
As of 2026, the Schengen area includes 29 countries:
Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, and Switzerland.
Ireland and Cyprus are EU members but not part of Schengen. The UK is neither. Time spent in those countries does not count against your Schengen 90 days.
Frequently asked questions
Is the 90/180 window fixed or rolling?
Rolling. On every day of your trip, border officers look back exactly 180 days from that date and count the days you spent inside Schengen. There is no "reset" on January 1 or when you leave — each day adds to the count and each day eventually falls out of the window.
Do I need to leave Schengen for 90 days to "reset"?
Not necessarily. You simply need to wait long enough that the total days inside Schengen in the last 180 days drops below 90. If your last trip was short, you may only need to wait a few weeks. Use the calculator above with a future reference date to check.
What happens if I overstay?
Overstaying the Schengen 90-day limit can result in an entry ban (1 to 5 years), fines, deportation, and difficulty obtaining future visas — not only for Schengen countries but for other destinations that share immigration data (UK, US, Canada). Even a single-day overstay is taken seriously.
Does the 90/180 rule apply to a multi-entry Schengen visa?
Yes. A multi-entry Schengen visa lets you enter and leave multiple times, but you are still capped at 90 days of actual presence in any rolling 180-day window. The visa's validity period is separate from the 90/180 limit.
Do transit stops count towards my 90 days?
If you pass through immigration and enter the Schengen area, yes — even a short layover with a passport stamp counts. If you stay strictly airside in an international transit zone and don't get a Schengen entry stamp, it does not count.
