Rules for a specific passport

The calculator counts days against your dates. The entry mode, the counting window and the vehicle import rules depend on the passport — they live on the passport pages.

How the days are counted

The allowance restarts on every entry: leaving resets the counter.

The day of entry and the day of exit both count as full days.
