Hello All,

So I am planning to do a long term visit to Europe (longest time in Poland) but discovered that you are only allowed to visit 90 for days within a 180 day time span as a tourist. The confusing part is determining what counts as part of the Shengen zone. There are a few countries that are planning to join the Shengen zone (ex. Bulgaria) that am not sure if counts. I emailed the Canadian Embassy in Poland but their answer was a little vague.

My question to you is this:

1) If I land in Poland for 30 days then go to Bulgaria for 15 days. Can I go back to Poland for the full 60 days?

2) Do countries like Bulgaria and Croatia (not yet part of Shengen) count towards the time spent as a tourist?

Just wondering if anyone came across this?

Thanks in Advance!
