How do I create a custom residency rule?
Create a custom rolling-window or calendar-year tracker, choose the countries, threshold, period, and whether you must stay under or meet the target.
Last updated:
What to do
- Choose rolling window or calendar year.
- Enter the sourced countries, threshold, and tracking direction.
- Name the source in your notes and review it when rules change.
Why this matters
A custom tracker calculates the parameters you enter. It does not verify that those parameters match current law, so use a written official source or instructions from your advisor.
The trip record should describe what happened. The tracker then applies its configured calculation. Keep documents for disputed boundary dates and avoid changing accurate history only to produce a preferred result.
Check the rule behind the answer
Jurisdictions do not all define a presence day in the same way. Read Country Tax Residency Rules for the rule context and cited sources used by this answer. Official guidance and advice for your facts take priority over an app display.
Before you rely on the total
- Check the country, entry date, departure date, and local time where relevant.
- Resolve duplicate, missing, overlapping, or unreviewed GPS-assisted records.
- Confirm the tracker period, countries, threshold, and tracking direction.
- Export a fresh record after any correction that changes a previously shared total.
When to ask a professional
Ask a qualified tax or immigration professional when a count is close to a legal threshold, an exception may apply, records conflict, or a late correction could affect a filing, permit, or overstay. Jetseen organizes dates and calculations. It does not decide your legal status.
