Title: Not sure if this trip follows the 90/180 rule? Post by: joeymast823 on January 08, 2017, 06:13:23 pm I'm a U.S. citizen planning taking a year off of work to travel the world.
I would mainly like to reside in Spain and travel outside the schengen area periodically to avoid overstaying my visa. In order to avoid over-staying my 90 day tourist visa within 180 days, I'm trying to plan accordingly in order to avoid over-staying my visa. Will the plan below satisfy the 90/180 rule? January 25th - March 25th: Stay in Spain and visit neighboring countries (Denmark, Austria, Hungary) 59 days in Schengen Zone March 25th - May 10th: Visit Thailand or Japan 46 days in Non-Schengen Country May 10th - June 1st: Visit Spain & Portugal 22 days in Schengen Zone June 1st - July 25th: Visit Thailand or Japan 54 days in Non-Schengen Country July 26th - October 26th: Visit Spain & Greece 92 days in Schengen Zone Title: Re: Not sure if this trip follows the 90/180 rule?

October 26th is your departure date. On this date, you look 180 days back, this is your 180-days period. This period starts on April 29th. Between April 29th and October 26th, you plan on spending the following days in the Schengen zone: May 10th - June 1st: Visit Spain & Portugal 23 days in Schengen Zone July 26th - October 26th: Visit Spain & Greece 93 days in Schengen Zone The total is 116 days. You overstay by 26 days. |
