## Key Concepts

### The 90/180-Day Rule
Non-EU/EEA nationals can stay in the Schengen area for a maximum of 90 days within any rolling 180-day period. The window moves forward every day. Leaving Schengen does not reset the counter. Old days gradually "fall off" as the 180-day window advances.

### Schengen Area (2026)
29 countries: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland.

Not Schengen: Ireland, Cyprus, United Kingdom, and other European countries.

### Bilateral Visa Waiver Agreements (BVWA)
Some Schengen countries have pre-existing bilateral agreements with certain nationalities that may allow extended stays beyond the standard 90 days. These agreements predate the Schengen Convention and their enforcement varies. Detailed BVWA data is available to supporters.

### Entry/Exit Day Counting
Both the entry day and exit day count as full days, regardless of the time. Even a same-day transit counts as one full day.
