Bosnia and Herzegovina entry rules outside Schengen
Bosnia and Herzegovina's Ministry of Security says nationals exempt from a visa may stay up to 90 days in the 180-day period preceding each day of stay, unless an international agreement provides otherwise.
Entry and stay rules
Bosnia and Herzegovina's Ministry of Security says nationals exempt from a visa may stay up to 90 days in the 180-day period preceding each day of stay, unless an international agreement provides otherwise.
How this relates to Schengen days
Bosnia and Herzegovina is outside the Schengen area. Its national stay rule is separate; time there does not erase Schengen days already used.
A stay outside the Schengen area is not itself a reset. The 90/180 calculation remains rolling and prior Schengen days continue to count until they leave the relevant window.
The destination's entry rules depend on nationality and travel document. Check the linked official source before departure.
