Schengen Visa single entry 180 days rule

I understand the 90/180 days rule for multiple entry.
I am from a Non-European country
My question is, what if I apply for a single entry visa to France, stay there for 10 days & then come back to my country.
Can I apply for another single entry visa within 180 days & use my remaining 80 days?
I am not sure about my second visit, but in case I have to go, what should I do then?

Best Answer

The 90/180 rule applies to any combination of short-stay visa. (There are special cases which give more days, but that's not the problem here.) Simply count the days of presence in Schengen and if you are below 90 days within the last 180 days you are fine as far as 90/180 is concerned.

The previous visit might make it easier to get the new visa, or to get a multiple-entry visa, since you have a travel history now.
