Questions, answered
The travel-day questions people actually ask — answered directly, with the full rule and official sources behind each one.
Does the 90-day rule reset after 180 days?No — there is no reset moment. The 180-day window rolls forward one day at a time, so each day you spent in Schengen stops counting exactly 180 days after it happened. Your allowance rebuilds gradually as old days age out, never all at once on a fixed date.When can I return to Schengen after using my 90 days?If you spent your 90 days in one unbroken stretch, you must wait 90 days after leaving before any re-entry — and a full fresh 90-day stay only becomes possible about 180 days after your original entry. If your days were spread across several trips, the wait is shorter: your allowance rebuilds as each old day passes the 180-day mark.When does the 180-day period start in Schengen?It doesn't start on any fixed date. The 180-day period is counted backwards from whichever day is being checked — usually the day you enter or leave. On every day of a stay, the window is 'the 180 days ending today', so it moves forward each day and never has a start date you can anchor to.What does “90 days in any 180-day period” mean?It means that on every day of your stay, the 180 days ending on that day may contain at most 90 days of presence in the Schengen Area. “Any” is the key word: every possible 180-day window must comply — it is a rolling check, not one fixed six-month block with a quota.What is a deemed resident of Canada?A deemed resident is someone Canadian tax law treats as a resident even though they lack the usual residential ties — most commonly because they “sojourned” (stayed) in Canada for 183 days or more in a calendar year while remaining tax-resident elsewhere. Deemed residents owe federal tax on their worldwide income for the entire year.
