## Schengen 90/180 Calculator — Mexican passport

Mexico has a **visa exemption agreement** with the European Union: Mexican passport holders may enter the **Schengen Area visa-free** for up to **90 days within any rolling 180-day window**. That rule is the only thing capping tourist stays — and it's the most common source of confusion for *paisanos* combining Spain, France, and Italy on the same multi-stop trip, or returning several times a year (Camino de Santiago, family visits, events).

> **Use the calculator above** to total your real days. Enter entry and exit dates for each Schengen trip — the system computes days used in the rolling 180-day window ending on the check date.

> **In short:** Mexicans get visa-free access to 29 Schengen countries — but only **90 days in any rolling 180-day period**. Entry day and exit day each count as full days. Overstay = SIS-II record + €500-1,200 fine + 1-5 year entry-ban.

## 1. Schengen 90/180-day rule — overview

**Regulation (EU) 2016/399** (Schengen Borders Code, Article 6) states that third-country nationals (including Mexico, visa-exempt) may stay in the Schengen Area for a maximum of **90 days in any 180-day period**.

### 1.1 Key principles

1. **Rolling window, not fixed** — the 180-day period does NOT reset on 1 January. It slides day by day.
2. **All countries count together** — Spain + France + Italy stack as one area. 30 + 30 + 30 = 90 days OK; adding 10 more = overstay.
3. **Entry day + exit day count fully** — a trip from 1-7 June = **7 days used**, not 6.

### 1.2 How the rolling window works

Count backward 180 days from your check date (typically the day you plan to re-enter). Add up days already spent in Schengen inside that window. If the total is ≤90, you can enter; if >90, you must wait.

## 2. Schengen countries vs EU-non-Schengen (2026)

**29 Schengen countries** (where the combined 90/180 rule applies): Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czechia, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland.

**EU but NOT Schengen**: Ireland, Cyprus. Separate visa systems — days there **do not count** toward the Schengen quota.

## 3. Overstay consequences

- **Fine**: €500-1,200 EUR per country.
- **Entry-ban**: 1-5 years across all Schengen, recorded in SIS-II.
- **Future visa applications**: likely denied.
- **Possible detention**: before departure flight.

## 4. FAQ

**Does the Mexican passport need a Schengen visa?** No for tourism ≤90 days in 180. Yes for work, long study, or residence.

**Does entry day count?** Yes, as a full day. Same for exit day.

**Does the quota reset on 1 January?** No. The 180-day window slides continuously.

**Are Spain + France + Italy counted separately?** No. All Schengen is one area for the 90/180 limit.

**Is there an official calculator?** Yes, the European Commission (Home Affairs) publishes a free calculator. Always cross-check before travel.
