Stay180 Help

Short answers for using Stay180 and understanding the Schengen short-stay rule. For deeper explainers, see the 90/180 guides.

Stay180 is a planning tool, not immigration advice, a visa, or a government service. Always verify your dates against the official EU short-stay calculator before you travel.

Using Stay180

How do I add stays?

Type your past and planned Schengen stays into the calculator — entry date and exit date for each. Stay180 uses those dates to show days used in the last 180 and a leave-by date for planning.

Can I import from Google Calendar or an ICS file?

Yes on Stay180 Pro. Connect Google Calendar or upload an ICS file to pull travel into your stay list. Free keeps stays you type on this device until you sign in. Stay180 never asks to read Gmail.

What's the difference between Free and Pro?

Free: add stays in this browser, see days used / days left, and get a leave-by date for planning.

Pro (signed-in): sync across devices, edit and filter stays, Google Calendar or ICS import, leave reminders, and a printable border briefing.

How do I cancel or manage billing?

Manage your Stay180 Pro subscription from your account billing settings (signed in). Cancel anytime from there; you'll keep Pro through the end of the paid period. For billing help, email support@stay180.app.

Where is my data kept?

Confirmed stays can stay in this browser until you sign in. Pro stores your account data so you can sync. We look for travel in calendars you choose to import — we don't ask for Gmail access. Details: /your-data and /privacy.

The 90/180 rule

What is the Schengen 90/180 rule?

For most short stays, you may spend no more than 90 days in any rolling 180-day period. The window moves day by day — it is not a fixed half-year reset.

Do arrival and departure both count?

Yes. The day you enter and the day you leave each use one day. A Friday-to-Sunday weekend is three days, not two.

I have days left today. Does that mean I can stay that many days?

Not necessarily. “Days left today” is not the length of your next trip. Every day of a planned stay is checked against its own rolling 180-day window.

When do old Schengen days come back?

When a past day falls outside the last 180 days, it stops counting — and those days become available again. Entering later can unlock a longer leave-by date.

What is a leave-by date?

The last day you can still be inside Schengen for a given entry date without breaking the rolling 90/180 rule on any day of that stay. Plan the trip against that date, then verify on the official EU calculator.

Before you travel

Does Stay180 replace the official calculator?

No. Use Stay180 to plan. Confirm the same dates on the official EU short-stay calculator before you travel. Visa stickers, residence permits, and long-stay visas can add limits Stay180 is not meant to decide.

Who is Stay180 for?

People who enter Schengen more than once a year — nomads, remote workers, partners visiting, anyone stacking trips and trying not to overstay or leave days unused.
