The rule
The one- and five-year e-Tourist routes have a 180-day calendar-year maximum under the official guidance. Other tourist options have different conditions. Enter the actual permitted end date and select the applicable route.
Counting the days
Recorded arrival and departure dates count once. Missing travel history, other eligibility conditions and treaty outcomes are not calculated.
- Choose the date through which you want to count, then add your recorded visits.
- Use the counting convention above. Overlapping recorded dates in the relevant region are counted only once.
- Read the result alongside the conditions. Missing records and other eligibility requirements are not inferred from a total.

Common misconceptions
“A counter result is the same as permission or eligibility.”
The counter measures recorded dates. Your actual permission, status and other conditions remain separate.
“Unrecorded days are included in the total.”
The calculator uses only the dates you enter. Missing history can make the result incomplete.
