What the rule means As a visa-free visitor you may spend up to 90 days within any 180-day period. The 180-day window is rolling: on any given day, look back 180 days and count the days you were present. Check whether your country is on the visa-free list.
Days count across visits The allowance is not reset by leaving and re-entering. All visits inside the window add up. If you are close to the limit, plan a longer break before returning.
If you need longer If 90 days is not enough, you may need an e-Visa or a long-stay type D visa depending on your purpose.
Insurance still applies Visa-free does not mean insurance-free: a war-risk policy is required for entry. Get a quote online.
