Schengen Visa 90/180 [duplicate]

My situation is the following:

I had a Visa issued from 20.9 till 20.12 for 90 days.
I stayed in Croatia for 80 days, I went back to my country @ 20.12 and my visa has ended.

does the 90/180 still apply even if i issued a new visa as my last one has ended?

I called the embassy and they told me it is per visa so if my visa has ended, I am eligible to apply for a new visa and stay for the period specified in the new Visa regardless of the history of the old visa.

However my friends are telling me that it still applies regardless ir your visa has ended or not so the rule isn't per visa and I am now pretty confused as they said they may accept the visa however, the officer can refuse my entry.

Does anyone has a similar experience?!

Best Answer

The 90/180 rule applies across visas. This means that your ability to use a second visa might be restricted in a way that isn't obvious from reading the visa itself.

For example, suppose you spent 80 days in the Schengen area with a 90-day visa. Two months later, you get a new 90-day visa. If your second entry is within 90 days of your previous departure, you would only be able to stay for 10 days. However, you would have 80 days remaining that you would be able to use during the latter part of the visa's validity, as long as your third entry is more than 180 days after your first.

If your visa really was a Schengen visa, though, time spent in Croatia counts separately from time spent in the Schengen area, so depending on your plans, you may be fine.

Does the Schengen Visa reset after 180 days?

So, when you apply for a Schengen Visa, no matter the Schengen Member State, your visa will be valid for 90 days per 180 days. This means that you may only spend 90 days within the Schengen Area, no more than that. If you overstay, you risk deportation or getting yourself banned from the Schengen Zone.

What happens if you exceed 90 days in Schengen?

The Schengen law states that you can't stay in the Area for more than 90 days. If you do, you're subject to a fine and possibly deportation and being banned from re-entering the Schengen Area. How that rule is enforced, though, varies greatly from one country to another.

What is the 90 180 Schengen rule?

What is the Schengen 90/180 rule? Under the terms of Schengen, non-EEA nationals cannot spend more than a total of 90 days within a total period of 180 days without a visa. Furthermore, once you've used up your quota of 90 days, you cannot return to Schengen until 90 more days have passed.

Can I apply for Schengen Visa twice?

Schengen visas may allow for a single-entry or multiple entries. With a single-entry visa you can enter the Schengen area only once. This is indicated on the visa sticker by "01". With a visa allowing for two or multiple entries you may enter twice or several times during the validity of the visa.
