How the 90/180-Day Rolling Window Works

The 90/180-day rule operates on a rolling backward window. Whenever you enter or stay in Lithuania, immigration authorities look back at the preceding 180 days. Every day spent in any of the 29 Schengen member states is combined into this single 90-day pool.

  • Moving between Schengen states does NOT reset your allowance: Days in Spain, France, Germany, or Lithuania all count toward the same 90 days.
  • Passport Validity: Valid at least 3 months beyond departure date from Schengen zone.
