Can you go — and for how long?

What an answer looks like

This is what Trip Check gives back for one real question. Each line links to the official page it comes from and shows the date we last checked it.

Can I bring Sudafed?

Depends on specifics — see the notes below.

Japan classes lisdexamfetamine (Vyvanse) and pseudoephedrine (found in many decongestants, such as Sudafed) as "stimulants' raw materials". You need permission from Japan's Narcotics Control Department before you travel. Products with 10% or less ephedrine or pseudoephedrine are excluded from the list. Amphetamine and methamphetamine (such as Adderall) are different: they can't be brought in at all.

How we work

The 90/180 rule

How the 90/180 rule really counts

In the Schengen Area you can spend at most 90 days in any 180-day period. The 180 days move forward one day at a time: old days drop off, new ones count. Drag the slider to see it for an example traveller with three trips.

The 180 days run from Oct 21, 2025 to this date. No days left — the next day here would be an overstay.

Example trips to Portugal, Spain and Italy. Coloured: days inside the 180-day window, which count. Grey: days outside it, which no longer count.

Coverage

Where Trip Check covers

Green countries have entry and customs rules we've checked against official government sources. The Schengen Area, in gold, counts as one. Anywhere else, Trip Check says we haven't checked it yet and links you to the official source instead of guessing.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

The questions we get most. If yours isn't here, the fastest answer is usually on the specific rule page — or check /sources for exactly what we've verified and when.

No. Everything here is informational and reflects our reading of official sources at the date shown — it isn't legal advice and isn't an official determination of your right to stay or enter. Border authorities decide, not us. For anything consequential, verify with the official source we cite, or a qualified adviser.

Every fact we publish is checked directly against a primary official source — a regulation, an official government page, a statute — before it goes live, and we record the date it was checked and who checked it. If we can't reach or confirm something against a primary source, we don't publish it; it stays flagged internally as unverified instead. See /methodology for the full policy and /sources for the complete list of what backs every claim on the site.

We'd rather show you an honest "not yet verified" than a guess. Coverage grows destination by destination, each one fully researched against that country's own immigration and customs authorities — we don't publish a country until we can cite it properly. The trip-check picker shows what's live now and what's queued next.

Trip Check (/trip-check) answers the broad question — can you enter a given destination, for how long, with what documents, and what you can bring — across all our verified destinations. The Schengen Calculator (/calculator) is the deeper tool specifically for the EU's rolling 90/180-day rule: multiple trips, residence-permit exclusions, dual citizenship, and a day-by-day timeline. If your trip is only about Schengen days, use the calculator directly.

No. The calculator runs entirely in your browser and your dates are never sent to us. A shareable link keeps your trips after the # in the link, a part browsers don't send to any server, so we never see them. But anyone you give the link to can read those dates, so share it only with people you'd tell. Trip Check computes in your browser too; when you open it from a link, your nationality and destination are in the address, so they appear in our hosting provider's standard request logs. When an item search finds no verified rule, we log the text you typed and the destination (nothing else) to decide what to research next. We have no accounts, cookies or analytics.

We watch our official sources on a weekly automated cycle for content changes, and re-verify anything that moved. Every change to our data — what changed, when, and against which source — is logged publicly at /changelog, so you can see our update history rather than just take our word for it.

Yes. The calculator and Trip Check are both free with no account required, and that's not changing — free access to accurate compliance information is the point of the site.

No. We're an independent, unaffiliated site. We're not the European Union, any national government, or any airline or visa-processing company, and nothing here should be read as an official channel.

Point us at the official source that contradicts what we have — that's the fastest fix, since every value we publish traces to a specific citation you can check against. See /sources for what's currently backing each claim.
