Terms of Use

Last updated: 2 September 2026. By accessing SchengenStay.EU ("the site") you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.

1. What the site provides

The site offers a free calculator that estimates allowed stay days under the Schengen 90/180-day rule, together with general informational guides on Schengen travel. It is an independent project and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or acting for the European Union, the European Commission, or any government.

2. Not legal or immigration advice

All content is general information only. It does not constitute legal, immigration, tax, or travel advice, and it is not a substitute for advice from a qualified professional or from the official authorities of the country you intend to visit. The calculator produces an estimate based solely on the dates you enter; it does not know your nationality's specific rules, your immigration history, your visa conditions, or any exceptional circumstances. It cannot and does not guarantee that you will be admitted to any country.

3. Your responsibilities

  • Verify all travel requirements — passport validity, visa or authorisation status, permitted length of stay — with official sources before you book or travel.
  • Enter accurate dates. Results are only as reliable as the trip history you provide.
  • Use the site lawfully and not attempt to disrupt, overload, scrape at scale, or reverse-engineer it for competing commercial use.

4. Accuracy and availability

We take care to keep the calculator's logic and the guides correct and current, and we update pages when rules change. However, we do not warrant that the content is complete, accurate, or up to date at all times, or that the site will be available without interruption or error. Rules and their timelines (for example the EES and ETIAS rollout) can change at short notice.

5. Intellectual property

The site's text, design, and code are owned by the site operator or used under licence, and are protected by copyright. You may view and share links to pages, and quote short extracts with attribution and a link. You may not republish substantial portions, or copy the calculator, without written permission. Official EU material referenced here belongs to its respective rights holders.

6. Third-party links and services

Pages link to external websites (official EU pages, government sites) and load third-party services (analytics, advertising, fonts, consent management). We are not responsible for the content or practices of third-party sites and services. Their use is governed by their own terms and privacy policies. See our Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy.

7. Disclaimer of warranties

The site and its content are provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement, to the fullest extent permitted by law.

8. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the site operator will not be liable for any loss or damage — including missed travel, denied entry, fines, penalties, or other consequential or indirect loss — arising from your use of, or reliance on, the site or its calculator. Nothing in these terms excludes liability that cannot be excluded by law.

9. Changes to these terms

We may revise these terms from time to time. The "last updated" date above reflects the current version. Continued use of the site after a change means you accept the revised terms.
