Check your allowed short-term stay

The EU has published an online tool that makes it possible for those who are covered by the EU’s Entry/Exit System to check for how long they are allowed to stay within the Schengen area.

If you are a citizen of a country outside the EU, and you travel to or from the Schengen area for short-term stays, you are covered by the EU’s Entry/Exit System and must be registered when travelling into or out of one of the countries. In the EU’s new online tool you will be able to find out whether you are permitted to enter the Schengen area or not. You can also get information on how many days you are still allowed to stay within the Schengen area.

If you were registered in the EU’s Entry/Exit System before 10 April 2026, you will not be able to use the tool. You will, as before, have to check your stamps to find out the number of days that you are still allowed to stay within the Schengen area.
