About Visa Day Counter

Visa Day Counter is an independent, free tool for one stubborn problem: knowing exactly how many days you can spend in a country before its rules say otherwise. It started as a simple day counter and has grown into a set of calculators and researched guides around the question "how long can I stay, and how do I stay longer?"

How the calculator counts

The calculator uses the same counting conventions as the official rules it models. Entry and exit days both count as full days of presence. For the Schengen 90/180 rule it evaluates a rolling 180-day window: on any reference date, it looks back over the previous 180 days (including that date) and totals your days inside the area, exactly the method behind the EU's official short-stay calculator and the automated counting now done by the EES border system.

The planner answers the forward-looking version of the question (the longest compliant stay from a chosen entry date), and the reset date shows when your full allowance returns if you stay out. The UK calculator applies the same machinery to the ~180-days-in-12-months visitor guideline, which is a planning heuristic rather than a statutory limit, and says so on the page.

How guide figures are verified

Visa thresholds move: Spain's digital nomad visa income tracks the Spanish minimum wage, the non-lucrative visa tracks the IPREM index, and border systems like EES and ETIAS change dates and fees. Every guide on this site is written against primary sources (government ministries, consular pages, EU regulations and official announcements), lists those sources at the end of the page, and shows the date it was last updated so you can judge freshness for yourself.

When something is uncertain or discretionary, the guide says so plainly rather than inventing a number. None of it is legal advice: consulates and border officers hold the discretion, and for high-stakes decisions you should confirm rules with official sources or a licensed professional.

Your data stays yours

The calculator runs entirely in your browser. Your trips are saved in your browser's local storage on your device, not on our servers; there are no accounts, no sign-up, and no travel data leaving your machine. We use privacy-friendly aggregate analytics to see which pages are useful, nothing that identifies you or your trips.

The practical trade-off of local-only storage: clearing your browser data clears your trips, and your data does not follow you across devices. We think that is the right default for something as sensitive as a travel history.
