Understand the rolling window

The European Commission describes the usual short-stay limit as 90 days in any 180-day period. Each day needs its own look-back calculation. Entry and exit dates count, and leaving the area does not automatically reset the allowance.

A residence permit is not unlimited travel everywhere

A long-stay visa or residence permit permits a different kind of stay in the issuing country. Check separately the rules for short visits to other Schengen states. Do not treat a national permit as unrestricted employment or residence rights throughout Europe.

Use the right calculator

Our day-budget tool subtracts a total you enter from 90. It does not validate dated itineraries or predict your next permitted entry. Use the European Commission’s official short-stay calculator for a date-based check, and respect any shorter duration printed on your visa.

Confirm documents and insurance separately

The official membership page currently lists 29 countries. Membership does not determine a national nomad visa’s financial or health-cover requirements. Check the exact national checklist; no travel-insurance brand is guaranteed to satisfy all long-stay applications.
