Does Non-Schengen Countries apply to my 90/180

Upvote:2

The 180 days are literally 180 days, next to each other on the calendar -- no pauses, no interruptions, no breaks.

They never "reset"; you always need to comply with the 90/180 rule for the the period that consists of today together with the previous one-hundred and seventy-nine days.

The 90 days count

  1. dates (midnight to midnight)
  2. on which you have been physically present (even for just one minute)
  3. in a Schengen member state
  4. that you did not have a valid residence permit or long-stay (i.e. type D) visa for.

If your "working holiday visa" is a type D visa (which I think they are in general), then your 90 days in Spain did not satisfy condition 4, and therefore your 90/180 Schengen counter is still at 0 days spent.
