How to use this result

Calendar months are added to the relevant travel date. If that day does not exist in the target month, the last day of that month is used. The passport must also remain valid through the trip. The Schengen age check is strict: arrival on the tenth anniversary does not pass.

This checks the dates against the selected rule. It does not check visas, blank pages, document condition, transit rules or permission to enter.

Questions about this tool

Does a green result mean I can enter?

It means the dates meet the selected rule only. Check your nationality, visa or ETA, transit points and any exceptions with the official destination source.

Is six months always required?

No. Rules differ. The presets state which visitor situation they cover. If yours is different, use the current official guidance and enter a custom validity rule.

Why is the passport issue date needed?

Some destinations restrict passport age as well as expiry. The Schengen preset checks that the passport is less than ten years old on arrival.
