How the 90/180 rule works in Schengen
1
The Schengen Area uses a rolling 180-day window. For any date, the system looks back 180 days and counts how many you spent in Schengen countries.
2
Entry day and exit day both count as full days. 90 days means exactly days, not '3 months' (which could be 92 days).
3
As days age out (180 days pass since your stay), they free up and you can use them again.

Visa-free entry to Schengen 2026: rules for travelers
The Schengen Area is a union of 27 European countries that allow free movement across borders. For citizens of Russia, Ukraine, Georgia, and other CIS countries, the 90/180 day rule applies for visa-free stays.
How Schengen visa works
Unlike national visas, a Schengen visa or visa-free regime allows free movement between all Schengen countries. The 90/180 rule applies to the entire area as a whole, not to each country separately.
Required documents at entry
When crossing the Schengen border, you may be asked for:
- Passport valid for at least 3 months after planned departure
- Travel medical insurance with minimum coverage of 30,000 EUR
- Proof of accommodation booking or invitation
- Proof of sufficient financial means (bank statement, cash)
Border control
At the Schengen border, an officer may ask to see return tickets, hotel booking, and proof of funds. For van life travel, it's important to have vehicle registration and green card insurance.
Frequently asked questions about Schengen visa
How many days can I stay in Schengen without a visa?
Citizens of Russia can stay in the Schengen Area up to 90 days within any 180-day period without a visa. This rule applies to most CIS countries with a biometric passport.
What is the 90/180 days rule for Schengen?
The 90/180 rule means that within any rolling 180-day period you can stay in Schengen countries for a maximum of 90 days. This is not calendar six months but a 'rolling window' — the system always looks at the last 180 days from the current date.
Which countries are in the Schengen Area?
The Schengen Area includes 27 countries: Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, and Croatia.
How are days of stay counted in Schengen?
Entry day and exit day both count as full days of stay. For example, if you entered on January 1 and exited on January 3, this counts as 3 days (January 1, 2, and 3).
When does the 90-day limit reset in Schengen?
The limit doesn't reset on a specific date. As days age out (180 days pass since your stay), they free up. For example, if you were in Schengen on January 1, then on July 1 that day leaves the window and frees up for reuse.
