DayCount EUWho it is for
Digital nomads and remote workers
Moving between countries makes two clocks matter at once: how long you can stay in Schengen, and where your days add up for tax.
Snowbird retirees in Spain and Portugal
Spending winters in Spain or Portugal means counting carefully, because the Schengen rule and the tax rules are different.
UK second-home owners in the EU
Since Brexit, British owners of second homes in the EU are short-stay visitors like other non-EU travellers.
Mixed-nationality couples
When one partner has an EU passport and the other does not, the rules differ by trip, and many people assume they are always exempt.
US, Canadian and Australian travellers
Visa-free travellers from the US, Canada and Australia use the 90/180 rule on every trip to the Schengen area.
