How long can you stay within the Schengen area?

Many are faced with the problem in order to calculate "How long you can stay and travel in European countries that have signed the Schengen Agreement."

Regular visits abroad have long become commonplace for many Russians. Friends and colleagues can be surprised by a story about visiting a medieval castle or swimming in the ocean, but not by the very fact of leaving for another country.

However, the journey may be overshadowed by the denial of entry due to an expired permit document. It is very easy to get confused about the time available for vacation or business negotiations. To avoid this, use our online visa calculator.

Who needs a visa calculator

It will be needed only for those tourists who arrive in the Schengen countries on a category C visa. According to this document, you can stay in the states that have signed the Schengen Agreement for a maximum of 3 months and any six months from the date of the first entry in the entry document.

If a citizen travels on a single entry visa, there are no problems. He will simply return home when the period specified in it expires. But if a paper is issued with the possibility of multiple visits (multivisa), then everything is somewhat more complicated and there is a risk of getting confused in the calculations.

How the visa calculator works

The online program will help you not to make a mistake. It will automatically calculate the number of days left before returning to your home country.

Nuances in the calculation

When using the visa calculator, there are a few things to keep in mind. Trips on long-term category D visas are not taken into account. The same applies to persons with. In addition, you cannot enter data on territories that are not included in the number of participants in the Schengen agreement.

At the moment it is:

• Britain (England, Wales and Northern Ireland);

And four more states are not the European Union, but they are part of the Schengen:

• Norway;
• Liechtenstein.

They must be taken into account when determining the time left until the end.

Important point

The period of stay in the Schengen area countries should be controlled exclusively by the holder of the document. This is not done by travel agencies that sell tours.

Therefore, there is a risk of acquiring an expensive tour to some place, but in the end not going beyond the border. Also, the traveler himself is responsible if he stays in the territory of another state longer than it should be.

before the trip, check how many more days you can stay in the Schengen area in the Control mode

A visa calculator using the “Control” button will help you not to violate the rules for using an entry document and make sure that its limit has not been exhausted. You just need to enter the data with great care. Otherwise, the calculation will be performed incorrectly and there may be trouble with the border guards.
