How to use this calculator
Enter issue, expiry, entry and departure dates. Select the rule you want to compare and review both expiry and issue-age checks.
The named Schengen rule covers ordinary non-EU short visits: three months after departure and issue age under ten years at entry. Other presets are user-selected arithmetic, not a country eligibility database.
A worked example
For departure on April 15, 2027, a three-month rule requires expiry on or after July 15, 2027.
Does passing these checks guarantee entry?
No. Nationality, visa conditions, document type and exceptions require destination guidance. The report only compares the entered dates under the selected rule.

Which calendar and years are supported?
Gregorian input coverage is 1900-2100 unless the method states a narrower range. Results explain calendar conventions and local date boundaries. Astronomy uses a level horizon at sea level. CSV, print and copy retain the result rules; calendar files contain only calculated events. Nothing is scheduled automatically.
