Schengen calculator for Cyprus

Planning a trip to Cyprus? The first thing to know is whether your days there count toward the Schengen 90/180-day limit - and for Cyprus the answer is not the obvious one.

No - they don't count

No - days in Cyprus do not count toward your Schengen 90/180 total. Cyprus is in the EU but not yet in the borderless Schengen area, so it runs its own separate short-stay rule.

Do days in Cyprus count toward your 90 days?

Cyprus joined the EU in 2004 and is committed to joining Schengen, but it is not yet a full member of the borderless area. Until it is, a stay in Cyprus does not draw down your Schengen 90/180 allowance - so you should not add Cyprus dates to this calculator alongside your Schengen trips.

The catch is that Cyprus operates its own 90-days-in-180 rule for short stays. The numbers look identical to Schengen, but it is a separate pool with its own clock: time in Cyprus counts against Cyprus, while time in France or Greece counts against Schengen. Keep the two tallies apart.

Cyprus is also part of the ETIAS scheme even though it is outside Schengen. Once ETIAS launches, visa-exempt travellers will need an authorisation to enter Cyprus just as they will for the Schengen members - but that is a travel-authorisation requirement, not a change to how your 90 days are counted.

How to use this calculator for a Cyprus trip

This tool tracks the Schengen pool only. Cyprus has its own separate 90-in-180 allowance, so don't enter Cyprus dates here - count them against Cyprus's own limit instead.

Frequently asked questions

Do days in Cyprus count toward the Schengen 90/180 limit?

No. Cyprus is in the EU but not yet in the Schengen area, so time there does not draw down your Schengen allowance. Do not add Cyprus dates to a Schengen calculator.

Does Cyprus have its own 90/180 rule?

Yes. Cyprus runs a separate 90-days-in-180 short-stay rule with its own clock. It mirrors the Schengen numbers but is a distinct allowance, so Cyprus days and Schengen days are counted separately.

Will I need ETIAS to visit Cyprus?

Yes. Cyprus is part of the ETIAS scheme even though it is not yet in Schengen, so visa-exempt visitors will need an ETIAS authorisation once the system launches.

Is Cyprus in the Schengen area?

Not yet. Cyprus is legally committed to joining, but the EU has not lifted its internal border checks, so for now it stays outside the borderless area.
