The 90/180 Rule and Netherlands
The Netherlands including Amsterdam is a major Schengen transit hub. Layovers in Schiphol that involve leaving the transit zone count as Schengen days.
The Schengen Area treats all 27 member countries as a single zone. Whether you enter at Amsterdam airport or travel overland from a neighbouring country, every day counts toward the same rolling 90-day limit.
Maximum stay in any 180-day rolling window across all Schengen countries including Netherlands.
The 180 days are always counted backwards from today, not from your entry date or the start of the year.
Both the day you enter and the day you exit Netherlands each count as a full Schengen day.
