If you go to Italy without a visa and leave at the 90 day mark, how long do you have to stay out of the country before you can return without a visa

Most European countries I believe will let you stay for 90 days out of 180 consecutive days, so that leaves you about 3 months before you can go back to Europe. I'm assuming you're American http://travel.state.gov/content/passports/english/go/schengen-fact-sheet.html

Bear in mind this might be dependent on the treaty Schengen countries have with your country of citizenship

  • What if she is not? – Karlson Mar 04 '14 at 21:33
  • @Karlson yep, I just added a note about that, let's see what she answers, we'll find something more suitable if not. My experience is that it usually is 180d between western countries – blackbird Mar 04 '14 at 21:35
  • So why not wait for the OP to add citizenship information and then answer the question in the more precise manner? – Karlson Mar 04 '14 at 21:42
  • In fact it does not matter, apart from extremely rare corner cases (diplomats or refugees with a limited territoriality visa for Italy or these kinds of things), there are only two possibilities: either the person can stay permanently (e.g. EU citizen or non-EU spouse of a EU citizen) or she is making a short stay in the Schengen area (as a resident from another Schengen country or because she has a citizenship that allows visa-free short stays) and the answer is correct. – Relaxed Mar 04 '14 at 21:44
  • Also, we know from the question that she can visit without a visa but only stay 90 days so if she is not a US citizen, she is from another country for which the exact same rules apply. – Relaxed Mar 04 '14 at 21:48
  • I just checked against this (pretty well referenced) article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visa_policy_of_the_Schengen_Area – blackbird Mar 04 '14 at 21:50
