There are new changes to the entry and exit systems to the island and these continue as they become automated with the introduction of new technology. Maybe a good time to explain again the rules. Since the UK left the Europeon Union the Schengen 90/180 rule has been applied. This rule does not apply to the UK alone, it has been in place for many years for countries outside of the union. It’s also not unusual. Most countries around the world impose a limit on the amount of time visitors can spend there. For example, both The United States and Australia impose a 90 day limit on visitor stays. So, to explain the rule in short. You can stay in the Schengen area for 90 days in any rolling 180 day period. For example, if you enter Spain on January 1st and spend 90 days in the country until March 30th, you cannot return to Spain until at least the end of June, which is the point at which the rolling 180 days finishes. If you are unsure about your travel stays in the EU, there is a calculator that will help you work it out, based on your planned stays: Schengen Calculator. The rule oes not county specific and applkies to the whole union so its important to remember that this applies across the Schengen zone, so if you have a two week holiday in France or Germany, that will count towards your 90 days in that period.
