How the tracker counts
Every calendar date from your first to your last day in a country counts as presence, arrival and departure days included — the conservative convention most tax authorities apply. Overlapping stays in the same country are de-duplicated. Canada, Costa Rica, Cyprus, France, Ireland, Italy, Malta, Spain and Thailand count days within the calendar year; Australia (1 July to 30 June), Mauritius (1 July to 30 June) and the United Kingdom (6 April to 5 April) count within their own tax year; Colombia, Georgia, Greece, Indonesia, Morocco, Norway, Portugal and the United Arab Emirates test any 12-month window, so the tracker reports the PEAK 12-month count anywhere in your log, not just the window ending today. Croatia counts a stay across one or two calendar years, so the tracker adds this calendar year and the previous one together. Germany counts a calendar year or a stay spanning year-end, and the tracker's peak 12-month count covers both. Panama looks at the calendar year and the one before it. South Africa requires more than 91 days in the current tax year (1 March to the end of February) and in each of the previous 5, plus more than 915 across those years. The United States applies its Substantial Presence Test: this year's days plus a third of last year's and a sixth of the year before, with at least 31 days in the current year. Ireland, Mauritius and Norway also have a multi-year total, which the tracker checks as well. For countries without a verified threshold the tracker shows plain calendar-year and last-365-day counts without any threshold claim.
Day counts are one signal, not the whole test: Cyprus can grant residency from just 60 daysⓘPwC Tax Summaries“reside in Cyprus for at least 60 days”View source · accessed 2026-08-09 combined with local ties (a home, employment or a business there). The UAE’s reduced 90 daysⓘPwC Worldwide Tax Summaries“carries on an employment or a business in the United Arab Emirates”View source · accessed 2026-08-09 route applies to UAE/GCC nationals and residence-permit holders with a permanent home or a job or business there. Spain counts temporary absences toward its total. The caveats on each country guide spell these out.
Frequently asked questions
Is the 183-day rule the same in every country?
No — and this is where generic trackers mislead. Canada, Costa Rica, Cyprus, France, Ireland, Italy, Malta, Spain and Thailand count days within the calendar year; Australia (1 July to 30 June), Mauritius (1 July to 30 June) and the United Kingdom (6 April to 5 April) count within their own tax year; Colombia, Georgia, Greece, Indonesia, Morocco, Norway, Portugal and the United Arab Emirates test any 12-month window, so the tracker reports the PEAK 12-month count anywhere in your log, not just the window ending today. Croatia counts a stay across one or two calendar years, so the tracker adds this calendar year and the previous one together. Germany counts a calendar year or a stay spanning year-end, and the tracker's peak 12-month count covers both. Panama looks at the calendar year and the one before it. South Africa requires more than 91 days in the current tax year (1 March to the end of February) and in each of the previous 5, plus more than 915 across those years. The United States applies its Substantial Presence Test: this year's days plus a third of last year's and a sixth of the year before, with at least 31 days in the current year. Ireland, Mauritius and Norway also have a multi-year total, which the tracker checks as well. Several countries also trigger residency on far fewer days when you have a home or ties there.
How does the tracker count days?
Every calendar date from your first day to your last day in a country counts, including arrival and departure days — the conservative convention most tax authorities apply. Overlapping stays in the same country are never double-counted.
Where is my data stored?
Only in your own browser (localStorage). There is no account, no email wall and no server — nothing you type leaves your device. Use the backup button to move your log between devices.
Can I use the export with my accountant?
Yes — the PDF report lists every stay and the per-country day counts with the counting convention stated, which is exactly what an advisor needs to assess residency exposure.
Does staying under 183 days make me safe?
Not necessarily. Many countries also look at your permanent home, family and economic ties, and treaty tie-breakers can override day counts. Day tracking is the first signal, not the full answer — read the country guides and talk to an advisor if real money depends on it.
When to talk to an advisor
If your counts are anywhere near a threshold — or your home, family or main income sits in a country you are leaving — have a qualified advisor review your situation before you rely on a day count. This tool documents your travel; it does not assess ties or treaties.
