These destinations use a rolling window or a calendar year — you cannot count that in your head. For other countries pick a destination in the calculator above.
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.

Frequently asked questions
How are days of stay counted in Cape Verde?
Days are counted per calendar year: 90 days are allowed between 1 January and 31 December. The counter resets in full on 1 January.
Does leaving the country reset the day counter?
No. Leaving does not reset the counter: days accumulate until the end of the calendar year and reset only on 1 January.
How do I count several trips in a row?
Add every entry and exit — the calculator sums the days of each trip, shows how many are used and how many are left on the date you pick, and names the day when the full allowance is available again.
What happens if I overstay?
Usually a fine and an entry ban, scaled to the country and the number of overstayed days. This calculation is an estimate: the border authority always makes the final decision on entry and length of stay.
