Entry and stay limits (adults and children)

Schengen 90/180 rule.

Use our 90/180 calculator or the European Commission: official short-stay calculator ↗.

Long-stay options that allow dependants

Homeschooling and education

Visiting, not moving? Short-term visitors usually remain under their home country's education rules (or the rules of the country where they are legally resident). A destination's school-attendance and home-education laws generally apply to children who become resident there. This is a general principle, not a legal ruling: if you plan a long stay or residency, check with the education authorities in both countries. For UK families: GOV.UK: Educating your child at home ↗.

Home education for residents

Home education is allowed under certain conditions during compulsory education.
