- Date checks only: visas, nationality exceptions, residence rights, passport condition, transit and airline requirements are not assessed. Entry is not guaranteed.
- Calendar months retain the day number where possible; otherwise use the last day of the target month. Confirm exact month-end cases with the destination authority.

How it works
Schengen: add three calendar months to final departure, and check entry is before the tenth anniversary of issue. Singapore: add six calendar months to arrival. Also check the passport covers the whole trip. These are the official rules checked on 14 November 2026; their original commencement dates are not established here.
required expiry = reference date + calendar months
Dates use UTC without time-of-day rounding. If the target month lacks the original day, use its last day. This is a calendar-arithmetic convention, not a ruling on a borderline passport; confirm month-end travel with the authority. These profiles do not assess residence permits, EU free-movement rights or Singapore citizen documents.

This profile is for non-EU short-stay visitors using ordinary passports. Departure means leaving the Schengen area, even if you visit several member countries. Issue age is measured at entry, whereas remaining validity is measured after departure. A residence or free-movement case needs its own official guidance.
