Manual stays and corrections in Schengen Calculator

Photo metadata can help start a travel history, but it cannot make the record complete by itself. A trip might have no photographs, photos may have lost their metadata, or a date may need correcting. Schengen Calculator supports manual stays so you can complete the record instead of accepting a gap.

Add the facts you can stand behind

Use the country and dates you believe are correct, then compare them with your own travel evidence. A manual stay is especially useful for phone-free journeys, short crossings, older travel and periods where the photo library tells only part of the story.

Review suggestions before they become your record

An automatically derived stay is a convenience, not proof of immigration status. Check the suggested period, correct it if needed and keep independent documents when a border or visa question matters. The app helps organise dates; it does not replace the official record or a border authority's decision.

Keep one history for planning

Manual and photo-derived stays belong in the same history because both can affect a rolling calculation. The useful outcome is a reviewable timeline that makes missing periods obvious before you plan another trip.

For the legal counting framework, read the 90/180 rule. Flags remains a planning tool, not legal advice.
