Confused about the 90/ 180 rules for spending time in the Schengen zone? Not sure what a rolling 180-day period means? Trying to figure out when the 180 day period starts and how long you can spend in Europe?
I know the feeling! It took me a while but I've found a way (I hope!) of explaining the 90 day Schengen rule and the rolling 180-day period, and sharing some common mistakes to avoid.
Here's the link to the Europe touring checklist: wandering-bird.ck.page/118955...
And here's the best Schengen website calculator I used (no affiliation): ninety180.com/
I hope it helps!

Kat, Thank you. Great as per usual. I have been looking for a clear and simple explanation and an app for sometime now. You right the website is the best and a coffee is on its way. Take care. 12:35

[@junewilliams4629]

Thank you for this information Kat

[@dillythirkill165]

Thanks Kat, what a great explanation, it made sense and I got it! I'll definitely be using the website.

[@robertcameron3008]

Thank you so much for your channel and all the advice and information you give. We appreciate the amount of work you put into it all. Great work, stay safe and keep them coming…🍀👍

[@ijleach]

Fantastic resource - really useful! Thanks

[@WanderingBird]

You're very welcome!

[@victorialane154]

This is brilliant thank you so much for all your efforts… great website 👍🏻

[@WanderingBird]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@richardwalsh3884]

Thank you so much, clear concise and very helpful !

[@travelswithforrestflo1239]

Wow that is complicated but well explained. Thanks Kat. 👍

[@WanderingBird]

Glad it was helpful!

[@sschank1]

Thanks for the video. As always, I learned a lot from you. To date, I had always thought of the 180 days FORWARD. But your idea to consider them BACKWARDS (ie, in the past) makes perfect sense. Thank you!!!

[@WanderingBird]

Glad it was helpful!

[@Rasmus-Van-Klump]

Very useful thanks. I kind of understood beforehand about the rolling 90-180, but this calculator is very useful and the best I have seen. (Not that I looked that much because I have eu passport so don’t need it)

[@lindalooker1983]

This is by far the best explanation of what happens with days dropping off. I've tried explaining to my husband but using the website mentioned certainly makes it easier.

[@WanderingBird]

Glad it was helpful!

[@bluecarefreeforever]

You clarified my thoughts but that app is a genius and you explanation and vid was perfect. Thank you.

[@WanderingBird]

You're welcome!

[@petebarry6449]

Thanks for the video Kat really helpful. Checked the site out on iPhone and works fine 👍

[@WanderingBird]

Great to hear! Glad it was helpful

[@janineread216]

Thanks Kat, appreciate the reminder of 180 days and not 6 months ❤ we are within our 90 days for our next trip to Spain and Portugal, before Xmas, but will need to be careful for our trip in the new year

[@WanderingBird]

Have a great trip!

[@PaulDevall]

I was using the website where you had to enter all your dates manually but after seeing you go through this app, it was so simple. Maybe have to buy them a coffee!

[@valellis7688]

Great video. We now know our trip that starts on Sunday though France and Spain, we can stay longer as the dates add on while we are away. Thank you

[@WanderingBird]

Have a fab trip

[@christopherhudson5767]

Brilliant, thank you 👍😎

[@edwincooper7812]

I will have to watch that again, but I think that will be really useful tool.

[@RichardUssher-Smith]

Thank you - very useful indeed :)

[@WanderingBird]

You're welcome!

[@marlarkin1090]

Nice video and the ninety180 is a cinch to use. Thanks Kat. Did you experience any problems being charged a lot for usung ATMs in Ireland when you were there? I have Nationwide investigating my issues when I used their FlexPlus card. Must emphasise this an ATM problem not Nationwide.

[@livingthegoodlifeinwales]

Thanks for this Kat, fab.

[@WanderingBird]

You're so welcome!

[@elenbarnett5389]

Thanks for this Kat, we’ve just had to reduce our spring trip to Holland from 89 days to enable us to still make our ferry to Spain for our autumn trip work!! We thought we could do up to 90 in, at least 90 out, then up to 90 again. BUT, we would have been over by 3 days 🙄

[@thevanthatrocked]

That does look a good program, not confusing and easy to use. Apart from sending the developer a thank you, is there any way we can say thank you to all the people who helped facilitate this total absurdity in the first place? Oh, thank you too WB. Good vid as usual.

[@WanderingBird]

😏

[@alanbenham4139]

Thank you. That is a top web site. Buy that man a coffee!

[@vivienne3757]

That is wonderful and explained it, what a great app. Are we going to need visas in the future, someone making money no doubt😏💚

[@WanderingBird]

Apparently from 2024

[@vivienne3757]

@@WanderingBird just looked at what we will need, will last for 3 years so not to traumatic, thanks for your information💚

[@bluecarefreeforever]

Thanks

[@WanderingBird]

Thank you 🙏

[@petersmithard6254]

seems straight fwd, but then I have to use a rolling day week rule for work

[@GlenPainter]

Thanks Kat what happens to my 90 day allowance if I enter a passport free country such as Switzerland Bulgaria Romania Georgia and then re enter Schengen later

[@qwertysds]

I wish Schengen zone was 183/365 days not 90/180 Because this makes for some long days to get back out of the zone. Good video on 90 day rules.

[@Bettys_Eldest]

My wife is Irish, theoretically any days I spend in the Schengen zone with her don't count towards my 90 days. This is documented in the training guides for Schengen area border guards, but I don't know how it will work in practice.

[@marilyngrandi6391]

My husband is Italian and when we went to Italy last year my passport was stamped (as we are told it must be). At the end of our stay when we had a problem and needed to stay longer we contacted the local authorities and was told there was no way I could extend my stay. My husband could stay on but I would have to return to he UK before my 90 days expired or face being banned from returning. There must be somewhere in the UK we can contact who could tell us exactly what those people married to Europeans can and cannot do in terms of these 90 days.

[@retiredrick1715]

Sheeez! I think I will just stay home! LOL

[@jeremysymonds2954]

Just wondering Kat why you have deleted my comments?

[@WanderingBird]

No idea. I delete comments which are rude or abusive but I also then block the person so perhaps you didn’t post it properly 🤷‍♀️

[@jeremysymonds2954]

All is made clear, thank you.

[@pamdooner9922]

I'm intelligent and I still find it all confusingly complicated. We are British but live in France so the rule still applies to us for any countries other than France and UK 🤬

[@WanderingBird]

Only difference is… they won’t know if you cross any borders unless you fly 😬

[@bobmckayfreedom]

Brexit the gift that keeps on giving lol

[@WanderingBird]

😏😏

[@NeverTheSwan-zr6qe]

Shouldn't be having this problem. It's all because of the complete stupidity of Brexit! :-(
