The 183·3·3·3 method

Four numbers that keep mobile people out of trouble

Our name is our method. Every tool and guide on this site maps to one of these four disciplines.

183

Know the threshold

…and the window. Calendar year, fiscal year or rolling 12 months — and whether it is really 180, 182 or no day test at all.

3

Years of look-back

The US weights three years. Audits reach back further. Keep a continuous three-year view of your days.

3

Tests, not one

Days, home, and centre of interests. Passing the day test alone rarely settles residency.

3

Proofs per stay

Travel record, lodging record, payment record. Three independent proofs make a log audit-ready.

FAQ

Quick answers

Is the 183-day rule the same in every country?

No. Many countries use 183 days, but the window differs (calendar year, fiscal year, or any rolling 12 months), some use 180 or 182 days, and several have no day test at all. Most also apply home, family and economic-interest tests.

If I stay under 183 days everywhere, am I tax-free?

Almost never. Your home country usually keeps taxing you until you break residency under its own rules, and some countries can make you resident on far fewer days through ties tests. US citizens are taxed wherever they live.

Does part of a day count as a day?

In many systems, yes — any part of a day counts. The UK generally counts days on which you are present at midnight. Always check the specific rule; our tracker lets you switch between counting methods.

Is my travel data uploaded anywhere?

No. The Day Tracker runs entirely in your browser and stores trips in local storage on your device. Export a CSV regularly as your backup.

Can you give me personal tax advice?
