Track the UAE 183-day rule before the year closes on you.
Jetseen helps cross-border residents monitor UAE physical-presence thresholds from a single trip record. Use it to stay on top of the 183-day rule, watch the 90-day TRC pathway if it applies, and keep your wider travel context in view.
Built for deliberate trip logging with optional GPS assistance off by default. The current public download flow points to iPhone and iPad.

These simplified examples make the calculator output readable without running JavaScript. Real cases can include exceptions, ties, permits, treaties, and evidence that change the final legal or tax answer.
Example 01
183 days inside a consecutive 12-month period
Input: A person records 183 days physically present in the UAE during the relevant consecutive 12-month period.
Result: the record reaches the 183-day physical-presence condition.
The days do not need to be consecutive and any part of a day is counted as a full day under the UAE Federal Tax Authority guide. Final residence and certificate questions still need the applicable facts and documents.

A 90-day record on its own
Input: A UAE resident records 95 days in the UAE and asks whether the number alone settles tax residence.
Result: 95 days clears the day-count limb, but the number alone is not a complete answer.
The 90-day pathway also depends on qualifying UAE or GCC status and facts such as a permanent place of residence, employment, or business in the UAE.

A calendar-year total is not always the whole window
Input: A person has 100 UAE days late in one calendar year and 83 early in the next.
Result: a consecutive 12-month view can show 183 recorded days across the year boundary.
The tracker preserves the dates so the relevant period can be tested. It does not assume that every legal or certificate question uses a calendar-year total.
Read the UAE 183-day app guidePurpose-built for UAE presence tracking
The UAE use case breaks spreadsheets quickly because you are usually not only tracking the UAE. You are tracking the UAE plus where the rest of the year went.
01
Keep UAE logic visible
Track the UAE threshold directly instead of relying on a generic total-day counter that does not reflect the real use case.
02
See the UAE in the context of the rest of your travel
A single trip log helps when Dubai, London, Lisbon, and home-country travel all shape the same year.
03
Prepare for advisor review earlier
Exportable records help you get ahead of document requests instead of reconstructing travel after the fact.
What this looks like in practice
The tracker is designed for residents who need a current UAE count and a usable archive, not just a one-time estimate.
Record each arrival and departure
Keep the raw trip history accurate while the details are still obvious.
Watch UAE progress during the year
Check the running count before extra trips pull days away from the threshold you need.
Export when the advisor asks
Use the same log to support certificate preparation or internal planning conversations.
Strongest fit for cross-border UAE residents
This page is for people who need UAE presence tracking as part of a larger residency picture, not just a basic travel diary.
You are building evidence for a UAE tax residency certificate or reviewing whether you are on pace for one.
You rotate between the UAE and other hubs across the same tax year.
You want one clean travel record instead of spreadsheet tabs and airline email archaeology.
You prefer manual control over the log rather than background location tracking.
Common UAE tracking questions
Does Jetseen only track UAE days?+
No. UAE tracking is one use case inside a broader multi-country trip log, which helps if the rest of your travel matters to tax or visa planning too.
Can I monitor the 90-day and 183-day UAE thresholds together?+
Yes. Jetseen is meant for rule-based day tracking, so you can keep both thresholds visible when that reflects your situation.
Will Jetseen tell me whether I officially qualify for a UAE TRC?+
No. Jetseen tracks day counts and gives you a usable record. Your advisor still determines how the law and documentation requirements apply to you.
Does the app use GPS to log UAE presence automatically?+
Jetseen is manual-first and can use optional GPS assistance to suggest a country entry. You review and confirm every trip before it becomes part of your travel record.
Keep your UAE count current before certificate prep begins.
Use the calculator for a quick read on your travel pattern, then keep tracking inside Jetseen when the details start to matter.
