Schengen countries: the full list

The Schengen Area has 29 member countries where the 90/180 limit is shared. Your days in any of them add up to the same 90-day allowance — crossing an internal border does not reset anything.

The 29 Schengen countries

Members are Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czechia, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland.

In Europe but not in Schengen

Why the shared area matters

Because internal borders are open, your 90 days are pooled across all members. Ten days in France plus ten in Italy is twenty Schengen days — not two separate counts.

Membership evolves over time; verify the current list before long trips. This is general information, not legal advice.

The Schengen 90/180 rule, explained The 90/180 rule lets you stay up to 90 days within any rolling 180-day period in the Schengen Area. On every single day the border looks back exactly 180 days and counts how many of them you were present — and that total must never exceed 90. What happens if you overstay in Schengen Overstaying the Schengen 90/180 limit can lead to fines, deportation, an entry ban recorded in the Schengen Information System, and refusals of future visas. The consequences vary by country and by how long you overstayed. Does the day of entry and exit count in Schengen? Yes. In the Schengen Area both the day you enter and the day you leave count as full days of presence, even if you were only in the country for a few hours. How long can you stay in Europe without a visa? If you travel visa-free or on a short-stay visa, the Schengen 90/180 rule lets you stay up to 90 days in any 180-day period. Europe is bigger than Schengen, though — non-Schengen countries count their days separately, so careful planning can extend a European trip well beyond 90 days. Do Schengen visa runs actually reset your days? A visa run — leaving the Schengen Area for a day or two and coming straight back — does not reset your 90/180 count. Because the 180-day window is rolling, your recent days still count until they are more than 180 days old.
