One calculation question… I’m an American on a Schengen 90/180 day tourist visa. I was in Oslo, Norway from Jan 9 - March 19. My plan is to go back from… May 15 - May 27, 2019. Then again July 1st - Sept 1, 2019.  Then again Dec 1, 2019 - Feb 28, 2020.   Is that all legal and ok Schengen visa-wise? I don’t go over the 90 days in 180 day sliding ruler do I?  Thank you so much!

I have searched the web a lot and could not find an answer that fits my situation. Here are two links that are quite contradictory:       My situation:  I've visited Portugal in December 2012 for 29 days on a Schengen visa valid from December 1st, 2012 to February 1st, 2013 for research purposes (I am a Ph.D. student). I want to visit Sweden from February 10th, 2013 to May 10th, 2013 (89 days). I have applied for a Schengen visa again (for research). How will the 90/180 rule work in my situation?

I was given a Schengen Visa by the Greek embassy in Cape Town, valid for one year, duration of stay 90 days. I went to Greece last Sept for 10 days.  It says valid for all Schengen States.  Can I use it again to go to France this year in July? Or do I have to apply for a new Schengen for France?  My visa expires on 14 Sept 2014.

Can anyone tell me if the 90 days is in fact 90 nights? Can you leave the Schengen area on the 91st day? Or are you only allowed 89 nights and you are required to leave on the 90th day?

I'm planning on doing a Euro tour, starting with Germany. My friends and I will be travelling to a separate country each month but our stay in Germany will be the shortest. Is there any rule when applying for the Schengen Visa that states that your stay in the country of entry has to be longer than your stay in the other countries? For example: we plan to stay in Italy (third country to be visited) for two weeks but less than a week in Germany (country of entry). Will this cause any hindrances while applying for the Schengen visa?

According to law, what are the consequences of a US citizen overstaying a Schengen visa?  In practice, how likely is one to be penalized for overstaying by a day, 10 days, and a month?  Are there countries that are more likely to enforce the rules on departure?

I just finished applying for my visa and had originally planned to travel on the 30th of September, so I put that as my intended date of travel. But now I will not be leaving until close to the second week of October.  How does this work, will I still be able to travel with this visa even though it says I intended to arrive on September 30th?

I have just received my J-1 visa (short-term scholar). On the visa it says "Expiry date: 14 November". My flight back is on the 20th of November. Do I understand correctly that even though the visa expires on the 14th, I get additional 30 days to leave the country? Thanks in advance for your answers.

I am traveling to Germany on May 1st for an exhibition for which I have already obtained a visa and its validity is up to May 13th. I am returning on May 12th and then traveling on May 17th to UK, and from UK to Switzerland for vacation with family. As time is very short for applying for a Schengen visa again after returning on the 12th with May 13-14 being a Saturday and Sunday, can I apply for Schengen visa again and can I get 2 valid Schengen visa?

I'm Italian and I wanted to return to the U.S. to meet some friends. The problem is that in 2011 I overstayed my visa by 4 months (so 90 days of regular visa waiver plus 4 months more for health problems). I read that this put me into a 3-year ban.  Now it's 2015 and in March I went to apply for a B2 visa (ESTA was denied), but they refused to give me a visa because I didn't have enough ties in my home country. I took all the proofs so I believe that the denial was actually for the overstay.  I want to reschedule another appointment this month, but I wanted to know if anyone has re-entered the U.S. after an overstay, or if anyone got a B2 visa after an overstay.

I'm travelling on the ESTA visa waiver, I'm now in the States but would like to go to Costa Rica for a bit (say three weeks) then come back to the States. All will be within my 90 day limit.  Is that allowed?  (I have my onward ticket home.)

I planned to travel on my German-issued Schengen visa to Berlin for 7 days by myself and my tourist multiple entry visa got approved. However, now it looks like I will not be able to go to Germany during those dates due to work commitments.   Can I do the following instead:   Can I travel to Germany at another time during the validity of my visa for 7 days? Can I travel during my initial intended period of travel to some other Schengen country? If so, my port of entry will change to another country. However, given my travel to Germany later on, Germany will still be the country I spend my most time in overall.  Do I need to let the German embassy know of my change in travel plans?   From comment:     So original plan: 7 days Berlin and that's it. New plan: 4 days probably Greece or Hungary during the same week as the original plan as I have to work some of the days now and the flight tickets are too expensive for the days I want to go. Following this trip, another trip to Frankfurt for 9 days in October. All for tourism purposes, and change only due to work commitments and flight prices going up.

I'm an Indian and my brother has been working in Sharjah around ten years. It is the first time I'm travelling abroad. He arranged me a tourist visa of 60 days validity and I can stay there up to 39 days (as stated by the visa agent). I should leave on the 40th day.   But in India my travel ticket agent said that I can stay there up to 29 days and I should leave on the 30th day.  I have added my visa image below.   Could someone please clear up the confusion for me?

I went to the US for 90 days on an ESTA in August to November. Then back to my home country for 1 month and then back again mid December until mid February and now I am going back again after 10 days for another 90 days. Now I can see that some people refer to 180 day rule in a year. My stay will be 240 days in one year with short gaps between coming back. Is the 180 day rule accurate? Some people write that you can do unlimited trips to The US as long as you don't stay more than 90 days. Is that correct? My reason for going there the first time was to visit and travel with an American friend.  After my first visit (she is my girlfriend) moved with me to my home country but has ended up in a custody battle in the US so she needed to return urgently so I returned only to be with her and support her, not to be a tourist.  Then after my second visit I needed to go back to my sick Dad and to rent out my apartment since we left in a rush to go back to the US.  Now, my third visit is to continue to be with my girlfriend and support her in her difficult situation.   My question is, if I do end up in trouble should I tell them this whole story? Or should I just say I am visiting a friend for a third time because I want to see more of the country and I have some more time off before I go back to my job.  I have proof of money in my bank account and I stay and eat with her for free Documented proof that I have a job to return to in my home country My return ticket printed and an address to stay at in the US and I have proof I have an apartment in my home country

I am visiting the US in August 2014 for a week, returning home to the UK &amp; will then be visiting for another 2 weeks in October 2014.  My question is, can I use the same ESTA or would I need to reapply for the second visit? I think the ESTA lasts 90 days but I am unsure if you can leave &amp; re-enter?

I have planned travel to Iceland, Germany and Spain this summer, from July 1st to July 21st. I see that EU Commission is now considering visa requirements for US citizens and may come to a decision by mid June.    How do I apply for a visa when there is no current requirement?

The  says:  foreign nationals who have been in any of the following countries during the past 14 days may not enter the United States.  and then goes on to list Schengen, UK, Brazil, China, Brazil, Iran. However, the  is opening back up to both US and UK tourists starting 1 July, including Puerto Rico. Could I not just go to the Caribbean for 14 days, chill on the beach, and then enter the US? I had a big US road trip planned this summer and don't want to give up on it!
