Hi,

The 90 day rule does not have set dates to start and finish as it a "rolling" year so as time passes days drop off the end date and days added to future. 

I also have a different calendar app which I personally find easier:

If you overstay your 90 days you could be fined or refused entry to the EU in the future.

It is of course Schengen area rule not just for Spain so for instance if you decided to drive the clock would start the day you landed in Calais.

A small point: I'd have used "rolling 180 days" rather than "rolling year" which could suggest that it was in some way connected to the annual calendar which it isn't.

If you over stay the risk as I understand it is a 5 year ban from entering the Schengen area and fines of up to 10000€

"A small point: I'd have used "rolling 180 days" rather than "rolling year" which could suggest that it was in some way connected to the annual calendar which it isn't"

I disagree, you are allowed 180 days within the rolling year not a rolling 180 days. 

I.e 2x90 days within the rolling year

This is by far the simplest 👍

Simplest way of knowing.

What future date do you intend to return home?

Take that date ..... you cannot be in the Schengen zone for more than 90 days in the proceeding 180 from that date.

Remember travel time etc and be out a day early.

Use that simple rule and its simple to work out.

The 90/180 rule does not apply to EU/EEA nationals such as Irish passport holders. However, EU/EEA passport holders, which includes Irish citizens, cannot stay more than 90 days, if you do, you have to register with the local authorities as a resident.

The 90/180 day rule does not apply to Irish passport holders or any EU/EEA passport holder. The rule only applies to third nation countries which the UK is now regarded. As an Irish Passport holder if you stay longer than 90 days you need to apply for a Certificate of Registration in the Oficina de Extranjeros (Foreigners Office) or if there is none in your region, at designated police stations. A list of Foreigners Offices is available on the website of the Dependencias. Sitio web de la Policía Nacional España (policia.es).

If you intend staying longer than 90 days you will also be required to provide evidence, at the police interview, that you have sufficient funds to support yourself and have private medical insurance which covers all eventualities and is valid for at least 12 months.
