Schengen Rules for British Passport Holders
Since Brexit, UK citizens are treated as third-country nationals and are subject to the 90/180 Schengen rule. The UK is no longer part of the Schengen Area.
British travellers most commonly visit Spain, France, Italy, Greece, and Portugal. All of these are full Schengen members, and days spent in any of them count toward the same 90-day limit.
Key Rules for British Travellers
- Maximum 90 days in any 180-day rolling window
- The 180 days are counted backwards from every day you are present
- Both entry and exit days count as full days
- The limit is shared across all 27 Schengen countries
- Overstaying can result in fines, deportation, and future bans
Frequently Asked Questions
How many days can a British citizen stay in Schengen?
A maximum of 90 days in any 180-day rolling period. This is not per trip — it is a rolling calculation that looks back 180 days from every day you are present.
Does the 90/180 rule reset at the start of the year?
No. The rule is a rolling window, not a calendar year reset. Days spent in Schengen continue to count for 180 days after they occurred.
What countries are included in the Schengen Area?
27 countries: Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, and Switzerland.
