How it works
How the 90-day rule works for Spain
Spain shares the Schengen 90 days
Spain is in the Schengen Area, so the 90-days-in-180 limit is not a Spain-only allowance. Days in France, Italy, Portugal and the rest of Schengen draw from the same 90 days as your time in Spain, and you cannot get a fresh 90 by crossing the Pyrenees into another Schengen country.
The Canaries and Balearics count
A common myth is that the Canary Islands or the Balearics sit outside the Schengen clock. They do not. The Canary Islands, Mallorca, Ibiza and the other Spanish islands are part of the Schengen Area, so days spent there count exactly like days on the mainland.
A rolling 180-day window
On any day, look back over the previous 180 days and total the days you were anywhere in Schengen. That number must stay at or under 90, and each day you use frees up again exactly 180 days later as the window moves forward.
Arrival and departure days count
Your day of arrival in Spain and your day of departure each count as a full day of presence, even a late-night landing in Madrid or an early flight out of Barcelona. This calculator counts both, the way a border officer would.
Resetting your Schengen window from Spain
Because the rule looks back over a rolling 180 days, you cannot reset it with a quick hop out and straight back. You only recover days once older days roll off the back of the window, so travelers often leave the Schengen Area to wait them out.
From Spain the easiest non-Schengen exits are Morocco (a short ferry from Tarifa or Algeciras to Tangier, or the land crossings at Ceuta and Melilla) and Gibraltar, a British territory at the southern tip that is outside Schengen. The UK and Ireland are also outside the Schengen Area. Andorra sits between Spain and France but you re-enter Schengen the moment you cross back, so it does not buy you a clean exit.
Use the planner above to pick a future entry date and see how many compliant days you would have, and the reset date to see when your full 90 days become available again if you stay out.
Staying in Spain longer than 90 days
To spend more than 90 days in Spain you need a national long-stay visa or residence permit, which is separate from the Schengen short-stay rule. The two routes most travelers look at are the digital nomad visa and the non-lucrative visa.
Spain's digital nomad visa, introduced under the 2023 Startup Act, is aimed at remote workers and freelancers earning from outside Spain, with an income requirement set as a multiple of the Spanish minimum wage. The non-lucrative visa (NLV) is for people who can support themselves from savings or passive income without working in Spain, which makes it popular with early retirees. Income thresholds and paperwork change, so confirm the current figures with a Spanish consulate before relying on them.
Once you hold one of these permits, your stay is governed by the permit rather than the 90/180 count.

FAQ
Spain 90/180 FAQ
How many days can I stay in Spain as a tourist?
Visa-free and short-stay (type C) visitors can be present in the Schengen Area, including Spain, for up to 90 days in any rolling 180-day period. This calculator adds up your trips and shows how many of those days remain.
Do I get 90 days just for Spain?
No. The 90 days are shared across the whole Schengen Area. Time in Spain counts toward the same allowance as time in any other Schengen country, so you cannot reset your days by moving from, say, France or Portugal into Spain.
Do days in the Canary Islands or Balearics count?
Yes. The Canary Islands, Mallorca, Menorca, Ibiza and Formentera are all part of Spain and the Schengen Area, so days there count toward your 90 just like days in mainland Spain.
Can I stay in Spain longer than 90 days?
Yes, but only with a national long-stay visa or residence permit such as Spain's digital nomad or non-lucrative visa. Those run under separate rules and are not part of the 90/180 short-stay calculation.
Does a trip to Morocco or Gibraltar reset my Schengen days?
Leaving for Morocco or Gibraltar stops you adding new Schengen days, but it does not instantly reset the count. The rule always looks back 180 days, so leaving only helps once enough older days have dropped out of the window. The calculator's reset date shows when your full allowance returns.
What happens if I overstay in Spain?
Overstaying the Schengen limit can lead to fines, deportation, and an entry ban that affects all of Schengen, not just Spain. Treat 90 days as a hard limit and keep a buffer where you can.
