FAQ

Does the calculator count both entry and exit dates?

For conservative short-stay planning, entry and exit are normally both counted as stay days.

Is this the official EES stay-check tool?

No. This website is independent and does not access EES records. For an official EES-based stay check, use the EU Travel to Europe EES tool.

Why use this calculator if the EU has an official EES tool?

The official EES tool is intended for official stay checks. This calculator is useful for planning future trips, testing different date options, comparing travel windows and understanding how the 90/180 rule works before you book.

Can this site guarantee my right to enter Schengen?

No. It cannot guarantee entry, visa approval, or any legal outcome. Border decisions are made by the relevant authorities.

Where is my trip history stored?

The calculator stores trip entries locally in your browser through localStorage and does not create a user account. Website cookies or similar technologies may still be used for essential functions, consent management, analytics or advertising where enabled and permitted by your choices.

Why is the site English-only?

The site is currently published in English to keep the calculator, examples, and important explanatory wording consistent. Additional languages may be added in the future after the English version has been reviewed and stabilised.

Is this legal advice?

No. This site is an educational and planning tool only.

Can this site account for every travel scenario?

No. Special cases may depend on residence status, visa type, bilateral arrangements or other legal factors outside the scope of the tool.

Can software irregularities happen?

The calculator has been carefully tested, but browser differences, input errors, unusual travel histories or software edge cases cannot be completely excluded. Always verify important plans with official sources.
