Where have you triggered tax residency?
Enter the days you’ve spent in each of the 12 nomad-visa countries over the past 12 months. The planner flags where you’ve crossed the day-count threshold, where you’re within 30 days of it, and where you’re safely non-resident. Each country’s specific rules (183-day, 180-day, rolling, facts tests) are applied.

What this planner doesn’t do
- Evaluate facts-and-circumstances tests (habitual residence, center of vital interests) — those depend on your full situation, not just days.
- Account for tax-treaty tie-breakers between countries you’re resident in simultaneously.
- Handle the US citizenship-based taxation (US owes tax regardless of residency — use FEIE + FTC for planning).
- Replace a cross-border CPA. In any year you change tax residency or approach the line, professional advice is worth the fee.
Where these day-count thresholds come from
Each threshold is the statutory day count in that country’s income tax code. Day count is only ever the first test: every country listed also has a facts-based tie-breaker (permanent home, centre of vital interests, family presence) that can make you resident below the threshold or non-resident above it, and a double-tax treaty can override the domestic answer entirely. The planner flags the day count and names the second test; it cannot decide your residency for you.

Where two countries both claim you, the treaty tie-breaker, not the day count, decides.
