Schengen calculator for Romania
Planning a trip to Romania? The first thing to know is whether your days there count toward the Schengen 90/180-day limit - and for Romania the answer is not the obvious one.
Yes - they count
Yes - days in Romania now count toward your Schengen 90/180 total. Romania joined the borderless Schengen area in full on 1 January 2025, so include your Romanian trips in this calculator.

Do days in Romania count toward your 90 days?
Romania waited a long time for Schengen: it joined the EU in 2007 and was judged technically ready years before the borders actually opened. Air and sea checks were removed on 31 March 2024, and the final land-border controls came down on 1 January 2025, completing its accession.
Since that 2025 date, Romania is inside the borderless zone, so the 90/180 rule applies there just as it does across the rest of the area. Days in Bucharest or on the Black Sea coast count against the same allowance as days in Italy or the Netherlands.
Because the change is recent, plenty of older travel advice still lists Romania as a separate country whose days are tracked on their own. Treat that as outdated: add your Romanian dates to this calculator together with the rest of your Schengen trips.
How to use this calculator for a Romania trip
Include your Romania dates with your other Schengen trips - they have shared the single 90-day pool since January 2025. Advice that still excludes Romania predates full membership.

Frequently asked questions
Do days in Romania count toward the Schengen 90/180 limit?
Yes, since 1 January 2025. Romania became a full Schengen member on that date, so days there draw down the same 90-in-180 allowance as every other member state.
Did Romania days always count toward Schengen?
No. Until full membership Romania applied its own separate short-stay rule. Only from 1 January 2025 do Romanian days count toward the shared Schengen total.
Is Romania in the Schengen area now?
Yes. Romania is a full Schengen member - its air and sea borders opened in March 2024 and its land borders on 1 January 2025.
Will I need ETIAS to visit Romania?
Yes. Romania is a Schengen country, so it is covered by ETIAS and visa-exempt visitors will need an authorisation once it launches.
