90/180

Rolling windows recalculate daily as travel records change.

Live

Each trip update refreshes remaining days instantly across the team.

CSV + XLSX

Import historical travel records in minutes for full context.

GDPR

Privacy-first handling designed for people and payroll data.

Manual tolerance is lower

A Schengen breach rarely starts at the border. It starts with stale data before a trip is approved.

The rule is simple. The operating reality is not. One itinerary change can redraw remaining allowance, shift approval decisions, and expose the team too late if records live in spreadsheets.

What trips teams up

01

One added trip redraws the remaining allowance for the full rolling window.

02

Entry and exit days both count in full, so short business hops stack quickly.

03

Approval decisions need a live record, not a spreadsheet copied around by email.

90 / 180

Rolling-day limit

Most UK business travellers are limited to 90 days across any rolling 180-day period, not per quarter or per country.

29

Countries, one allowance

Time in the Schengen Area accumulates across participating countries under one shared allowance.

Daily

Allowance shifts

Each day old trips drop out of the window, and each new booking redraws the safe margin for the next approval.

Enforcement is real

EES has made short-stay compliance measurable at the border. Overstays and refused entries are no longer hidden inside passport stamps and manual reconciliations.

16,000

Travellers refused entry

Recorded in the first four months of EES, showing that automated border controls are already changing outcomes.

4,000+

Caught overstaying

Detected against the 90/180-day Schengen limit once entry and exit records moved into a live digital system.

30M

Border crossings tracked

Biometric border records captured since October 2025, creating a persistent audit trail for each trip.

Since October 2025, the EU’s Entry/Exit System has digitally recorded every entry and exit at Schengen borders. Overstayers are flagged automatically, with far less room for manual interpretation. If your employees travel to Europe for work, their compliance is no longer invisible. It’s tracked.

What catches teams out is not the existence of the rule. It is treating a moving 180-day window like a static spreadsheet.

ComplyEur gives HR, operations, and mobility teams one live record of remaining allowance, trip history, and early warning signals before a booking turns into a border problem.
