Frequently asked questions
Which countries are in the Schengen area in 2026?
29 countries: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czechia, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, Switzerland. Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, Switzerland are in Schengen but not in the EU. Bulgaria and Romania became full members on 1 January 2025.
Is Cyprus in Schengen?
Not yet. Cyprus is in the EU and is working to join, but there are still border checks and it keeps its own 90/180 count. Days in Cyprus do not use up your Schengen days. ETIAS will apply to Cyprus once it starts.
Is Ireland in Schengen?
No. Ireland opted out and shares the Common Travel Area with the UK instead. Days in Ireland do not count toward Schengen, and ETIAS and EES do not apply there.
Do days in the UK or the Balkans count toward my 90 days?
No. The UK, Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Serbia and the other countries outside Schengen have their own entry rules. Leaving Schengen to visit them pauses your Schengen count, which is why travellers often spend time there between Schengen stays.
What about Monaco, San Marino, the Vatican and Andorra?
Monaco, San Marino and the Vatican are not members but have open borders with France or Italy, so in practice time there counts as Schengen time. Andorra has border controls with France and Spain and is not part of Schengen. If you need a Schengen visa, visiting Andorra means you need a multiple-entry visa to come back in.
