The EU has announced plans to extend the 90-day rule for certain categories of non-EU workers, a potential shift in how the bloc manages short-term stays within the Schengen area. The current rule limits non-EU citizens to 90 days within any 180-day period across Schengen countries; this proposal would create exceptions for specific worker categories, though details on which professions qualify remain under discussion.

EU considers extending 90-day rule for certain non-EU workers
The European Union is exploring changes to the Schengen 90/180 rule that could affect digital nomads and remote workers.
The EU's potential extension of the 90-day rule could reshape how remote workers and digital nomads plan their European stays.
If implemented, this could reshape planning for digital nomads, remote workers, and others who currently rely on tourist visas or visa runs to stay legal. The change would likely require formal visa or permit categories rather than relying on the informal 90/180 framework. Anyone currently working remotely in Europe on a tourist visa should monitor EU announcements closely, as new rules could require switching to a formal digital-nomad or work visa before they take effect.
