New Chrono Product Capabilities: Simplify Your Schengen Travel Tracking
Chrono is pleased to announce the release of new features designed to make users’ tracking of time in the Schengen Area easier than ever. Traveling within the Schengen region comes with specific rules and regulations, particularly around the number of days you can spend within the area over a given period. To help you navigate these complexities, Chrono now treats the Schengen Area as its own distinct region, and offers several key enhancements:
- Create a Schengen Goal: Chrono now features a Schengen Area specific goal under the new Special Regions goal section. Utilizing this new goal leverages both customized region tracking and unique countdown capabilities.
- 90/180 Day Countdown Tracker: Chrono now includes a countdown tracker for the maximum 90 days permitted within the most recent 180-day period. This feature is essential for travelers needing to stay within legal limits. Plus, the app gives users the flexibility to customize this tracker further, tailoring it to your specific travel needs. The new Countdown tracker automatically updates to lookback 180 days from the current date.
- Unified Schengen Day Tracking: Any day where a user visits any country within the Schengen region will now be counted as a single Schengen day. This means that even if you visit multiple Schengen countries in a single day, it will be recorded as one day, simplifying your tracking and ensuring accuracy.
- Automatic Backtracking of Previous Visits: If you set up a Schengen goal today, Chrono will automatically attribute prior visits to a Schengen area country to your goal, ensuring that your travel history is accurately reflected and that you have a complete picture of your time spent in the region.
Why is This Important?
Tracking your travels carefully with a Schengen Visa is crucial because the visa imposes strict limits on the number of days you can spend in the Schengen Area within a 180-day period. Violating these rules can result in fines, deportation, or future visa denials, significantly impacting your travel plans. Using Chrono to keep track of your travels makes perfect sense, as it provides an accurate, real-time record of your movements, ensuring that you stay within the legal limits. With its seamless interface and automated tracking, Chrono helps you avoid costly mistakes, giving you peace of mind and allowing you to focus on enjoying your travels.
