Schengen Area Student Visa — 90/180 Day Rule for Short Programmes
Direct citation of published official data. No estimates, no extrapolations.
Students attending a Schengen-area course of less than 90 days can travel on a Schengen short-stay Type C visa. Longer programmes require a national Type D long-stay visa from the destination country, plus a residence permit issued after arrival. The 90-day clock counts all Schengen entries in any 180-day window.
