Originally it was 2020. But it was extended to 2024 in 2014:

From this page:

There are some older articles from 2013 about how long it can really last:

It is amazing countries are getting along well enough to continue the ISS for now. Of course until we start launching astronauts again, Russia is more than willing to receive the massive amount of money we have to pay them. Maybe that's where Putin will end up next. He's everywhere already.
