1. What is the Brexit 90 Day Rule?

The Brexit 90 day rule limits UK nationals to spending no more than 90 days in any 180-day period in Schengen Area countries without a visa. This calculator helps track remaining days.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the simple formula:

Where:

• \( Days\ Spent \) — Number of days already spent in Schengen Area
• \( Days\ Left \) — Remaining days available under the 90/180 rule

Explanation: The calculation helps you stay compliant with the 90-day limit within any rolling 180-day period.

3. Importance of Tracking Days

Details: Accurate day counting is crucial to avoid overstaying, which could lead to fines, entry bans, or future visa complications.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the number of days you've already spent in the Schengen Area in the current 180-day window. The calculator will show your remaining days.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Does the 90 days have to be consecutive?
A: No, the 90 days can be spread across any combination of Schengen countries within any 180-day period.

Q2: How is the 180-day period calculated?
A: It's a rolling window - for any given day, you look back 180 days to count your total days spent.

Q3: What happens if I exceed 90 days?
A: You may face penalties including fines, entry bans, or difficulties obtaining future visas.

Q4: Are there any exceptions to this rule?
A: Some countries have bilateral agreements with the UK that may offer additional flexibility.

Q5: Does time in Ireland count toward the 90 days?
A: No, Ireland is not part of the Schengen Area, so time spent there doesn't count toward the 90-day limit.
