What these limits mean when you're moving around
- Days in any rolling window
- On any day, the days you've spent there in the window up to that day must stay under the limit. Older days drop out as the window moves forward, so your days left change as you travel. Some countries count the period from your first entry instead; the notes say when.
How days are counted. Visa365 counts any part of a day as a full day, so the day you travel counts for both countries. That way it never counts fewer days than you actually spent somewhere. Official rules can count differently, so check the sources below.
Tracking Cyprus with Visa365
For the most common stay limit here, you'd add a rolling limit of 90 days in any 180. In the app's entry rules for Cyprus, pick your passport and one tap fills in the limit that applies to you. Visa365 shows your days left and leave-by date, and alerts you at the days-left counts you choose. It logs your days there automatically in the background, even offline.
