How the calculator counts
Pick your passport and destination and the calculator fills in the visa-free days from Bordr's data. Enter the day you arrive (or plan to). The last legal day is the last day you may still be in the country: with a 30-day limit and arrival on 1 March, that is 30 March, because the arrival day is day one and the departure day counts too.
Days used counts today as a day already spent; days left are the full days after today. If you have not arrived yet, all days are still left.
Some countries also cap the total over a period. When our data has such a rule for your destination, the calculator turns it on and asks for your earlier trips, then checks every day of the new stay against both limits. If the period is already full on your entry date, it tells you the first day you could enter again.

How to avoid overstaying
- Read your entry stamp or e-Visa. In Mexico and Costa Rica, for example, the officer sets your days at entry, and it can be fewer than the maximum. Use the date you were given, not the headline number.
- Plan your exit for the day before the last legal day. Flights get cancelled, and a missed connection is not a defence at the border.
- Extend before the stay runs out. Where an extension exists (Thailand, Indonesia, Colombia, Argentina, Brazil and others), you apply before the last legal day, not after.
- Keep proof of every exit. Boarding passes and stamps are your record if a window limit is ever disputed.
Frequently asked questions
Do the arrival and departure days count?
In this calculator, yes: both count as full days, and the arrival day is day one. That is how most immigration services count a stay, but not all: China, for example, counts visa-free stays from 00:00 on the day after entry. The calculator shows the rule our data has for your destination; the date on your entry stamp or e-Visa always wins.
What is the difference between a per-entry limit and a window limit?
A per-entry limit restarts each time you enter: Thailand's 30 days or Mexico's up to 180 days granted at the border. A window limit adds up every day you spent there over a period: Colombia allows 180 days per calendar year, Brazil 180 days per migratory year, Turkey 90 days in any 180. Where both apply you must stay inside both, and the calculator checks every day of your stay against each.
Does a border run reset my days?
Only where the country counts per entry, and even then the officer decides on every entry. In countries with a window limit, earlier stays keep counting after you leave and come back, so add them under Earlier trips.
Where do the visa-free days come from?
From the same data the Bordr app uses: a passport-by-destination visa matrix, corrected by entry rules that Bordr checks against official government sources (last checked 30 October 2026). Rules change, so confirm with the official source before you travel. The days field is editable: enter what your stamp or visa says.
What happens if I overstay?
It depends on the country. Peru charges a fine for every extra day and can ban re-entry; Costa Rica can deport overstayers and ban them for several years; Mexico settles overstays with a fine at an immigration office or at departure. Leave on or before the last legal day, or apply for an extension before it.
Are my trips saved or sent anywhere?
They stay in this browser only (local storage) so they are there next time. Nothing is sent to Bordr.
This calculator is not legal advice. Visa rules change and officers have the final say at the border: check the official government source for your destination before you travel.
