If I leave the eu after 90 days holiday on 31st december this year when is the next time I can re - enter
 
Does my 90 days start counting from my 1st visit of the year to EU or do I count from brexit date and work from there? Suppose I don’t stay for the full 90 days? Say only 45.

You have to look back 180 days (from your date of interest, which might be today, or it could be a date in the future that you’re trying to establish whether you can take a planned trip) and count how many days you spent in the schengen zone. If it’s less than 90, you may proceed, if it’s more (or will be more if planning a future trip) then you have to revise your plans.

As others have said the limit is 90 days in any rolling 180 day period. Until you get your head around the fact that there are 365 different 180 day assessment periods in a single year, you will struggle with the concept.

It's a rolling 180 days, easy if you use a Schengen calculator like this one.

After putting my travel dates in the calculator it's given me conflicting dates.
I travel to France on August 17th and return to the UK on September 9th.
It then states if I enter again on December 7th I can have a full 90 days.
Not with my calculations but maybe I'm missing something.

After looking at the calculator , we are ok for our visit. It’s a while since O level maths.
I get the 180 rolling bit now.

My dates also came out with a result I wasn't expecting. Not sure if that calculator is working properly.

Edit: Of course it does work. It's just not presented very clearly.

I think your Schengen days in August will start dropping off 90 days after Aug 17, thus allowing for a further 90, I think 🤔

Clearly that would be the case. It would be more helpful if the calculator let you put in the date of your next planned trip and told you how many days you had left out of the 90 at that point.

There are quite a few calculators online worth trying two or three to see if they agree as sometimes they throw a wobbly.

It does. It’s an essential element of planning that future trips are permissible.

Ah yes, I see now. Silly me. I'm supposed to guess that "Add" means plan a future trip. Why can't they spell it out for simple folk like me?

Designing something that is fool proof is becoming more and more difficult nowadays. Fools seem to be upping their game. :giggle:
