The 90/180 Day Rule Explained
Frequently Asked Questions
All third-country nationals who are either visa-exempt or hold a Schengen short-stay visa must comply with the 90/180 day rule. This includes citizens from:
- Visa-exempt countries: USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, South Korea, Brazil, Argentina, and about 60 other countries
- Schengen visa holders: Citizens requiring a visa who have been granted a short-stay Schengen visa
EU/EEA citizens and their family members, long-stay visa holders, and residence permit holders are NOT subject to this rule.
No. This is a common misconception. Leaving the Schengen Area does NOT reset your 90-day counter.
The 90/180 rule uses a rolling 180-day window. Every day you're in Schengen within any 180-day period counts toward your 90-day limit.
Example: If you spend 90 days straight in Schengen and then leave, you must wait approximately 90 days outside Schengen before you can return for another significant stay.
Overstaying the 90-day limit can have serious consequences:
- Fines: €500-€1,000+ depending on the country
- Deportation: You may be removed from the country
- Entry bans: 1-5 year bans from the entire Schengen Area
- Future visa problems: Difficulty obtaining any European visa
- SIS alert: Your data may be entered into the Schengen Information System
Penalties vary by country but violations are shared across all member states.
Yes, as of January 1, 2025. Bulgaria and Romania became full Schengen members on January 1, 2025, after land border controls were lifted.
Time spent in Bulgaria or Romania now counts toward your 90-day Schengen limit, just like any other Schengen country.
Air and sea border controls between these countries and Schengen were already lifted on March 31, 2024.
ETIAS (European Travel Information and Authorisation System) is a new pre-travel authorization requirement for visa-exempt travelers.
Expected launch: Late 2026 (after EES implementation)
Who needs it: Citizens of visa-exempt countries (US, UK, Canada, Australia, etc.)
Cost: €7 (free for under 18 and over 70)
Validity: 3 years or until passport expiry
ETIAS is NOT a visa - it's a travel authorization similar to the US ESTA. The 90/180 day rule still applies even with ETIAS.
No. These countries are NOT part of the Schengen Area:
- Ireland: EU member but not Schengen (has its own visa requirements)
- United Kingdom: Not EU or Schengen (completely separate system)
- Cyprus: EU member, in process of joining Schengen (expected 2026)
Time spent in these countries does NOT count toward your Schengen 90/180 days. However, each has its own entry requirements and permitted stay limits.
