Schengen Calculation

AMWilson

Can anyone please help. We have used various apps and websites to calculate our 90/180 Schengen allowance days and they are all giving us different results. Is there an official calculator? or does anyone know of an accurate app/site. We know it’s a rolling scenario so it’s pretty complex and now we are retired and travel a bit we don’t want to get ejected from Europe!

Not sure this is the right board for such a question ... this board is for feedback about the MSE site.

The post has obviously been shifted since 2:29 pm as it's now on the Overseas Holiday forum.

Ah - it was originally in Site Feedback

Do you really need an app?  I would just mark the days on a calendar; if different apps give different answers they are not reliable.

I believe you need to count all of the days.  If you go to Paris on a Monday afternoon and return on Wednesday morning that counts as three days even though you are there for under 48 hours.

Which ones have you tried and what were the results?  Once the principle has been established that any part of a day counts, then it shouldn't be difficult to tot up the days, so it's difficult to understand how/why there'd be any variation in interpretation.

I recommend use of a spreadsheet.

Put today's date in row 182 (to give a safety net), drag up to row 1.

Add up every day you have been inside the Schengen area using the stamps on your passport. It's free and you know it'll be reliable. Remember to make sure you won't be over on the day of exit also, which can be done by dragging down and not taking the first days into account.
