Schengen calculator for Israeli citizens

Israeli passport holders can visit the Schengen Area without a visa for up to 90 days in any 180-day period. Short, frequent trips to Greece and the rest of Europe add up fast — while Cyprus, though in the EU, sits outside the Schengen count.

Facts checked 5 October 2026. Entry rules change. Confirm them with the official source linked in each section before you travel.

Does the 90/180 rule apply to Israeli citizens?

Yes. Israel is on the EU's visa-exempt list, so Israeli citizens may visit for up to 90 days in any 180 across all 29 Schengen countries combined, for tourism, family visits or business meetings.

Your passport must have been issued within the last 10 years and be valid for at least three months after you plan to leave.

Worked example: three trips, then an autumn holiday

You spent 11 days in Rome in April, three weeks on Greek islands in June and July, and two weeks in Berlin in August 2026. You want to go back to Europe on 1 October.

That is 47 days in total. On 1 October the window starts on 4 April, so two of the Rome days have already dropped out: 44 days used.

The rest of the Rome trip leaves the window during your stay, but the summer trips still count. Your last legal day is 23 November 2026: 54 days. A week in Cyprus on the way would not change that.

Bilateral agreements: Denmark confirmed

Denmark's immigration service lists Israel among its bilateral partners: Israeli citizens may stay in Denmark up to three months counted from their first entry into Denmark or another Nordic country. Time already spent in Denmark or another Nordic country in the previous six months is deducted. It covers Denmark only.

We could not confirm any other agreement for Israeli passports from an official source. If you also hold an EU passport — German, Polish, Portuguese and others are common — travel on it, and the 90/180 rule does not apply to you.

Cyprus, Greece and the border

Cyprus is an EU member but not part of the Schengen Area, and it does not operate EES. Days in Cyprus do not use your Schengen allowance. Greece is in Schengen, so a Greek island holiday counts in full. Check before you travel, as Cyprus is working towards joining Schengen.

• On a flight from Tel Aviv, EES records your fingerprints and photo at your first Schengen airport.
• A trip Tel Aviv–Larnaca–Athens enters Schengen at Athens; the Cyprus days before it do not count.
• Dual EU citizens: enter and leave on the same EU passport. EU citizens are not registered in EES.

EES and ETIAS in one minute

The Entry/Exit System (EES) has been fully operational at every external Schengen border since 10 April 2026. It replaces passport stamps for Israeli citizens on short stays: your first entry records your passport, four fingerprints and a facial image, and every later entry and exit is logged. The system counts your days and flags an overstay automatically.

ETIAS is a separate, online travel authorisation that visa-exempt travellers will need once it starts. It will cost €20 and last three years or until your passport expires. At our last check, on 5 October 2026, it was not yet running, and the EU has said it will announce the start date several months in advance. Neither system changes the 90/180 rule itself.

Check your own dates in three steps

1. Open the calculator and add every Schengen stay from the last six months, with the day you arrived and the day you left. Both count.
2. Read your days used in the last 180, and the last day you can stay if you entered today.
3. Use the planner to try a future trip. It checks every day of the trip against its own 180-day window, which is exactly what EES does at the border.

Common questions

Do days in Cyprus count toward the Schengen 90 days?

No. Cyprus is in the EU but not in the Schengen Area, and it does not operate EES, so days there do not use your 90. Greece, Italy and the other Schengen countries do count. Check again before travel, as Cyprus plans to join.

Can Israelis stay longer than 90 days in Denmark?

Denmark says Israeli citizens may stay up to three months in Denmark counted from first entry into Denmark or another Nordic country, deducting earlier Nordic time in the previous six months. Confirm with Danish authorities first.

I have Israeli and German passports. Do I need to count days?

Not when you travel as an EU citizen. Enter and leave Schengen on your German passport and the 90/180 rule does not apply. On your Israeli passport alone, the normal 90 days in any 180 apply.
