Travelling to the EU and Schengen Area
Are you a UK national intending to visit the Schengen area or another European Union nation? If so, you need be aware of a few things to guarantee a hassle-free travel.
The good news is that, should your journey be brief, stays up to 90 days in a 180-day period do not call for a visa. This relates to visitors and specified objectives; as long as your whole stay is within the 90-day restriction, you can visit several Schengen countries without a visa.
Understanding the Rules for UK Citizens Travelling to the EU and Schengen Area
You will need to act to monitor your stay and make sure you do not overstay your welcome. First, on your next trip, find the date you intend to depart the Schengen area. To find the beginning of the 180-day period, then reverse 180 days from that date. Using the dates stamped in your passport showing when you entered and left a nation, then total the number of days you have already spent in the Schengen area in that 180-day period. Work out how many days you will spend in the Schengen area on your next trip and then add this figure to the total number of days you figured out in step three. Make sure the overall count of days is less than ninety.
These regulations do not apply to travel or employment in Ireland, though. Should you intend to work or remain in the EU for more than ninety days, you could need a visa or permit. Check the entry criteria of the nation you are visiting to learn what you can and cannot do during your stay; the rules vary depending on the country and the type of your visit.
Exceptions for Certain Countries in the EU
Notable among the EU members not covered by the Schengen area include Bulgaria, Cyprus, and Romania, among other nations. Without a visa, each of these nations lets you stay up to 90 days out of a 180-day total. Your travel time in the Schengen area has no bearing on the number of days you can spend in any one country.
