Visa Stay Calculator

Calculate your total stay days and days remaining against a fixed visa allowance, and check whether your trip is compliant.

What Is A Visa Stay Limit?

A visa stay limit is the maximum number of days a traveller is allowed to remain in a country for a single visit under a given visa or entry permit. Staying longer than this limit can result in penalties, so it is important to plan your entry and exit dates around your allowance.

How The Calculator Works

Enter your visa allowance in days along with your planned entry and exit dates. The calculator works out your total stay days (inclusive of both the entry and exit dates), how many days you have remaining against your allowance, and whether your trip is compliant with that allowance.

FAQ

What is a visa stay limit?

A visa stay limit is the maximum number of days you are permitted to remain in a country under a specific visa, entry permit, or visa-free arrangement. Limits vary widely depending on the country and visa type.

How is the total stay calculated?

The total stay is calculated as the number of days from your entry date to your exit date, inclusive of both days. For example, entering on day 1 and leaving on day 5 counts as 5 days.

What happens if my days remaining is negative?

A negative days-remaining value means your planned stay exceeds your visa allowance. Overstaying can lead to fines, removal, or future entry bans depending on the country, so you should shorten your stay or check requirements for a visa extension.

Does this calculator account for rolling windows like the Schengen 90/180 rule?

No. This calculator checks a single stay against a fixed total visa allowance. For visa-free travel in the Schengen Area, which uses a rolling 180-day window, use the dedicated Schengen Calculator instead.
