About SchengenRadar
SchengenRadar is an independent travel compliance platform built specifically for digital nomads, remote professionals, and frequent international travelers navigating Europe's Schengen Zone.
Why We Built SchengenRadar
The European Union's 90/180-day Schengen rule is one of the most misunderstood immigration regulations in modern travel. Unlike a calendar reset, the Schengen allowance uses a backward-looking rolling 180-day window—meaning every single day you spend inside the zone shifts your future eligibility.
With the rollout of the EU Entry/Exit System (EES) and ETIAS automated border checks, manual passport stamp counting is no longer sufficient. Even an accidental two-day overstay can result in fines, deportation, or multi-year entry bans across all 29 Schengen member states. We created SchengenRadar to give travelers an instant, mathematically exact way to plan past and future trips without spreadsheets.
How Our Calculator Works
- Exact Rolling Window Math: Every entry and exit date is evaluated against its corresponding 180-day lookback period, including both arrival and departure days in accordance with EU Border Code Regulation (EU) 2016/399.
- Privacy-First Architecture: Your travel history stays in your browser's local storage by default, with optional encrypted cloud synchronization for multi-device access.
- Actionable Country Guides: Beyond day-counting, we publish detailed visa requirement guides and residency pathways for travelers looking to stay in Europe longer than 90 days legally.
Our Ecosystem
SchengenRadar works alongside our sister platform, Nomad Budgeter, which helps remote workers calculate international tax residency (the 183-day tax rule) and compare real-world cost of living across 90+ global hubs.
