Can I enter the Schengen area after previously staying there for 89 days in the past 6 months?










3















I (US citizen) was in the Schengen area (Sweden) for 2.5 months a few months ago (so I am close to 90/180). As a US citizen, I entered under the visa-free agreement (EC 539/2001 Annex II).



I am looking at plane tickets for another trip into the Schengen area, again via the visa-free agreement.



Will border control (in Sweden) allow me entry into their country if my flight back home is on day 89 or 90 of the allowed 90-day period?



I have not found any information online about any leeway requirement, here or via Google.




Due to the Schengen rule requiring passport not expire for 3 additional months after visa expiry or the US's six-month-past-visa-expiry requirement, this seems like a a reasonable question to ask more seasoned travelers than I.



Note: I will not exceed 90-days out of 180-days limit at any time.



(Leaving a few days earlier/entering a bit later so there is a bit of space just in case something goes wrong is be preferable, of course, but I'd like to maximize my stay.)

    All other things being equal and you are not otherwise detained, yes that's fine.

    No, there's no leeway in the 90/180 rule. But there's also no reason they should stop you or if your plan remains within the 90/180.

    I'm not sure what you're asking. You don't need any leeway if you're not trying to stay more than 90/180.

Yes, in so far as they will not refuse you for that alone.
