The 183-day rule, country by country

Review sourced tax-residence guidance for 165 of 165 tax-profile countries. Enter stays where a day rule applies; some results also need home, work, nationality or other legal facts.

Last updated: 10 November 2026

Where you were

Enter each stay with the day you arrived and the day you left. Add earlier years too: some tests look back two to five years. Your dates stay in this browser and are not sent to us. Select a country without dates to check a home, work or other fact-based route. Changing a stay or tax year clears the legal-fact answers below.

A day test is one route to tax residence. A home, your family or your work can make you resident with fewer days, and a tax treaty decides between two countries.

What is the 183-day rule?

Many countries treat you as tax resident if you spend about half the year there: 183 days or more in some, more than 183 days in others. But each country sets its own test. The period, the way a day is counted and the number of days all differ, and some countries use other numbers.

Does spending fewer than 183 days make me non-resident?

No. Fewer days only means the day test is not met. Most countries can also make you resident because of a permanent home, your family or the centre of your economic interests. You can be resident in two countries at once. A tax treaty then decides, in this order: permanent home, centre of vital interests, habitual abode, nationality.

An example: 190 days in Spain

You arrived in Spain on 10 Jan 2026 and left on 18 Jul 2026, with no other trips: 190 days in 2026, the day you arrived and the day you left both counted. Spain's test is more than 183 days in the calendar year. 190 days: more than 183, so the day test makes you resident in Spain. The day test is met: you are tax resident in Spain for that year, whatever your other ties.

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

No. The US weights three years of days, the UK uses 16 to 182 days together with your ties, Switzerland 30 or 90 days of continuous stay, India 182, Thailand 180 and South Africa 91. Spain, Portugal, Cyprus, Malta and New Zealand need more than 183, so 184 is the first day that counts. France and Germany have no fixed count of days.

What is the 183-day rule in tax treaties?

Tax treaties based on the OECD Model use 183 days for a different question. Under article 15, salary for work in another country is taxed only in your country of residence if you are there for not more than 183 days in any 12-month period that starts or ends in the tax year, your employer is not resident there, and no permanent establishment there bears the pay.

How do I count my days?

List every stay with the day you arrived and the day you left, including earlier years. The calculator above applies each country's own counting rule and period. Keep evidence such as boarding passes and passport stamps: the tax authority can ask you to prove your days.

Albania: 183 days in the calendar tax year, with an artist exception

  • Income Tax Law 29/2023, articles 6 and 8, uses 183 days or more in a calendar tax year. Arrival and departure count as separate presence days.
  • From 2026, Law 81/2025 makes a non-Albanian artist nonresident for 24 months after their first entry, regardless of days or other domestic residence routes.
  • A permanent home, habitual abode, Albanian official posted abroad, activity location, or centre of vital interests can also establish residence.
  • The tax authority's certificate page says over 183 days, but its resident page and the current law say 183 or more. The law controls the boundary.

The 24-month artist exception needs citizenship, profession and first-entry facts. Other residence routes and treaties need separate review.

Algeria: Tax domicile under Direct Taxes Code article 3; no general numeric day test verified

  • The official gazette text of Direct Taxes Code article 3 treats a qualifying home, main place of stay, centre of main interests or salaried or self-employed professional activity in Algeria as tax domicile routes. A tenant's qualifying lease must run continuously for at least one year.
  • Article 3 also covers Algerian state agents working abroad who are not subject there to personal tax on all income. It gives no general 183-day presence threshold or day-count period.
  • The DGI lists a 2026 consolidated Direct Taxes Code, and the 2026 finance law does not amend article 3. The 2026 code PDF was unavailable at review, so the current wording and any intervening amendments need confirmation.
  • The DGI's separate 183-day rule for experts of foreign enterprises concerns filing obligations. It does not establish personal income-tax residence.

Check housing and lease terms, main stay, main interests, professional activity, qualifying state service abroad, and any treaty. Algeria can tax Algerian-source income of a person without tax domicile there. The shown calendar-year days are for information only.

Angola: More than 90 days in a calendar year under the current fiscal-domicile law

  • General Tax Code article 37(2), as amended by Law 21/20, treats a person as resident for fiscal domicile after more than 90 days in a year, consecutive or separate.
  • A home available on 31 December that suggests intended habitual occupation is a separate route.
  • The 2014 text used more than 183 days. The 2020 amendment replaced it with more than 90. A new personal income tax code was approved for 2027, but the final enacted day rule is not verified here.

A habitual home, treaty status and the planned 2027 personal income tax code require separate review. This result uses the current General Tax Code fiscal-domicile rule only for 2021–2026.

Antigua and Barbuda: Income Tax Act residence definition used by Unincorporated Business Tax

  • Income Tax Act section 2 makes an individual resident after at least 183 days of physical presence in the basis period. The 2016 Unincorporated Business Tax Act imports that definition for an individual's business income.
  • A permanent place of abode with some presence, or a stay continuous with a qualifying adjacent year, can also establish residence.
  • The 1995 amendment adds a route for a permanent resident certificate holder who is present for at least 30 days. A citizenship-by-investment passport or an immigration permit by itself does not meet this route.
  • Personal income tax on employment was repealed from July 2016. The six-month temporary-purpose exclusion in Unincorporated Business Tax Act section 4(3) concerns certain foreign business income; it is not the general residence definition.

The 183-day result describes the statutory residence definition used by the remaining individual business tax. Employment income is exempt. Abode, adjacent-year continuity, and the specific permanent-resident-certificate route need separate facts.

Argentina: nationality, permanent residence or 12 months with temporary authorization

  • Argentine nationals are generally tax resident unless they lost that status through foreign permanent residence or 12 months continuously abroad.
  • A foreign individual is resident with Argentine permanent residence, or after 12 months with temporary migration authorization. Qualifying temporary absences of up to 90 days do not interrupt the period.
  • A stay without intent to reside habitually can be excepted. The separate six-month test in ARCA guidance is for personal deductions, not general tax residence.

Nationality, migration permit, intent, absences, foreign residence and the 2026 citizenship-by-investment provision need individual review.

Armenia: 183 days in the calendar tax year

  • Tax Code articles 13 and 25 use 183 or more days of actual presence in the calendar tax year. Arrival and departure each count in full, whatever the hours present.
  • A centre of vital interests in Armenia or Armenian state service temporarily performed abroad is a separate residence route.
  • If an individual becomes resident on any day of the tax year, article 25(5) treats the individual as resident for the whole year.

Family, home, principal work location, government service and treaty facts can establish or affect residence with fewer days.

Australia: 183-day test

  • In Australia, together or apart, for more than half the income year (1 July to 30 June): 183 days, or 184 in a 366-day year.
  • Exception: your usual place of abode is outside Australia and you do not intend to take up residence in Australia.

The main test asks whether you reside in Australia, whatever your days. The domicile test and the Commonwealth superannuation test can also make you resident.

Austria: habitual abode after more than six months, or an available home

  • A place of residence or habitual abode in Austria creates unlimited income-tax liability.
  • A stay longer than six calendar months always creates unlimited liability, back to the start of the stay. It can cross a tax-year boundary.
  • A dwelling kept and used recurrently or a stay that is clearly not temporary can create residence before six months. Short absences do not necessarily end a stay.

The travel log cannot establish an available dwelling, work-contract length, intent, short absences or treaty residence. Six calendar months is not a fixed 183-day count.

Azerbaijan: more than 182 days in the calendar year

  • Current Tax Code article 13.2.5.1 treats more than 182 aggregate days actually in Azerbaijan during the calendar year as a residence route. The former rolling-12-month clause was deleted in 2002.
  • When neither Azerbaijan nor any foreign state exceeds 182 days, a statutory sequence of permanent home, vital interests, habitual abode and Azerbaijani citizenship can establish residence.
  • Azerbaijani state service abroad is another route. A person leaving Azerbaijan may become nonresident from the last day of presence if the following tax year is also nonresident.
  • Articles 13.2.6.1–13.2.6.3 exclude certain diplomatic, consular, international-organisation, foreign-government and pure-transit presence; the official-status exclusions do not apply to business activity in Azerbaijan.

The State Tax Service's older English code PDF still shows the deleted rolling clause, and one FAQ says 'consecutive' days. The current consolidated code says aggregate days in the calendar year. Home, ties, service, departure and exception facts need review.

Bahamas: No domestic personal-income-tax day test

  • The Bahamas Ministry of Finance states that The Bahamas has no domestic personal income tax regime.
  • For the Bahamas–Japan tax agreement, an individual is a Bahamian resident when domiciled there and a citizen or permitted to reside. Dual residence is settled through home, vital interests, habitual abode, nationality and mutual agreement.
  • A three-month presence condition in the Commercial Entities Substance Requirements Act concerns the owner of a resident-owned entity. It is not an individual personal-income-tax threshold.

A residence permit, domicile, treaty status and ownership of an entity need their own facts. Three months and 183 days are not general personal-income-tax residence lines.

  • The income year generally ends on 30 June; special income periods in the Act concern businesses and companies and need separate review.

Belarus: more than 183 countable days in the calendar year, subject to article 17 exceptions

  • Tax Code article 17(1) makes physical presence of more than 183 days in a calendar year a residence route. Until the current year's result is known, the previous calendar year's status applies provisionally.
  • Article 17(2) also counts qualifying treatment and Belarus-law work trips abroad. It counts holidays abroad only when all such holidays total no more than 60 calendar days in the year; if they exceed 60, none of those holiday days count.
  • Article 17(3) excludes specified diplomatic and international-organisation presence, visits solely for treatment or rest, and transit. Article 17(4) counts from the day after entry through departure day. Article 17(5) has treaty and Belarus citizenship or permanent-permit fallback rules.

Confirm that no recorded Belarus days fall within article 17(3)'s exclusions. Add only verified qualifying days abroad that are not already in the stay records; all foreign holiday days must be known to apply the 60-day cap. Previous-year provisional status, treaty residence, and the citizenship or permanent-permit fallback need separate facts.

Belgium: domicile or seat of wealth, with no fixed day threshold

  • A person is subject to Belgian personal income tax when their domicile or seat of wealth is in Belgium, regardless of nationality.
  • Domicile is factual residence; the seat of wealth is where assets are managed. National Register entry creates a rebuttable presumption.
  • A temporary absence does not necessarily move domicile. The residence test has no general 183-day threshold.

Actual home, registration, where assets are managed, family facts and a tax treaty need review. Travel days alone do not decide residence.

  • Supreme Decree 4436 article 4 has exclusions for short tourist or purpose-specific stays and foreign diplomatic or international-organisation staff. The tax is assessed on wealth held at 31 December; its residence test must not be applied to all personal income.
  • The National Tax Service's current RC-IVA materials and Law 843 compendium do not establish the wealth-tax 183-day figure as a general income-tax residence threshold. Residence, domicile, income source and treaty facts need separate review.

Bosnia and Herzegovina: entity-specific 183-day income-tax residence routes

  • Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina Income Tax Law article 2(3) uses 183 or more days, continuous or separate, in a calendar tax period. Its residence regulation counts both arrival and departure days.
  • Brčko District Income Tax Law articles 2 and 9 use 183 or more days in a calendar tax period, with separate domicile and district-budget employment routes.
  • Republika Srpska Income Tax Law article 6 uses 183 or more days in a 12-month period beginning or ending in the relevant tax year, with domicile and permanent-home/vital-interests routes.
  • The country's total days cannot be assigned to an entity without knowing where each stay took place. Republika Srpska and Brčko day fragments are not verified. Federation and Brčko also have cross-entity employment routes.

Confirm that every recorded Bosnia and Herzegovina stay was in the selected tax jurisdiction. For Republika Srpska or Brčko, confirm that every recorded date was a full day there before using the count as proof. Domicile, vital interests, government or cross-entity employment, tax exemptions and treaties need separate review. The Federation residence regulation's date example calls 1 January to 2 July 182 days; that conflicts with inclusive calendar arithmetic, so the statutory 183-day boundary controls.

  • The 2026 Act counts part-days and temporary absences for business, recreation or similar purposes. A permanent home or Botswana Government posting abroad is another route.
  • The new Act can limit a new or departing resident to part of the tax year, based on first and last presence and residence in adjacent years.
  • For a tax year ending by 30 June 2026, the former Income Tax Act used at least 183 days in that July-to-June year, a permanent abode, and an abode or linked-year route that could count temporary absences.

  • The Financial Services Commission says the Payroll Taxes Act, 2004 reduced personal income tax to a zero rate from 1 January 2005. The current Inland Revenue Department lists payroll and other taxes, but not personal income tax, among the taxes it collects.
  • The Attorney General's index as at 1 January 2026 still lists the Income Tax Ordinance (Cap. 206) and its 2020 amendment. The available International Tax Authority Cap. 206 PDF contains subsidiary employment rules and treaties; it refers to the principal Ordinance's section 2 residence definition but does not publish that definition.
  • A BVI treaty order uses ordinary residence in its residence article. Its 183-day limit is in the separate employment-income article and is not a domestic individual tax-residence trigger.
  • The Government's work permit rules concern permission to work. They do not supply an income-tax residence threshold.

  • The General Department lists Prakas 575 on Tax on Salary, dated 19 September 2024, as valid. Its residence criteria continue the home and rolling-presence routes. The GDT's English tax-on-salary explanation states the more-than-182-day rolling rule.
  • A GDT certificate form describes the 12-month period of the year of assessment. The older 1997 law's calendar-year wording is superseded by the 2023 law; it must not replace the rolling window. A current English official rule for partial arrival and departure days was not verified.

  • Cameroonian civil servants or state employees working abroad qualify when they are not subject to tax in the foreign country.
  • A person domiciled outside Cameroon can still owe personal income tax on Cameroon-source gains. The France–Cameroon treaty's 183-day employment condition is not the domestic residence definition.

  • The DGI describes individual income-tax residence as habitual residence in Côte d'Ivoire. Qualifying housing, the main place of stay without housing, and certain employees paid by an Ivorian employer during leave abroad can meet that condition.
  • The DGI's 2025 tax table still identifies article 237 as the general income-tax provision. The 2026 fiscal annex does not identify a change to residence in its contents. The linked 2026 code's article pages were unavailable at review, so current statutory wording needs confirmation.

Curaçao: Residence from personal circumstances; no fixed day threshold

  • The Curaçao Ministry of Finance says a natural person is tax resident if the person has a permanent residence or residence in Curaçao.
  • The Ministry assesses facts including where the person spends most time, where partner and family live, work, insurance, doctor, associations and children's schooling. It gives no automatic 183-day rule.
  • The tax authority says a person living in Curaçao with income is a domestic income-taxpayer. A customs 183-day rule for normal residence is a different test and is not used here.

Home, family and other personal ties require review; a travel log by itself cannot establish Curaçao tax residence.

DR Congo: 183 days staying there in any 12 months, or a home, non-accessory work or qualifying state service

  • Law 23/053 of 30 November 2023, article 60(3), treats a person as habitually resident after at least 183 days staying in DR Congo, continuous or separate, in a 12-month period. Article 153 brings the law into force on 1 January 2026.
  • Article 60 also covers a permanent home or main place of stay, professional activity unless merely accessory, and a DR Congo state official abroad who is not subject there to personal income tax.
  • The law does not define how partial arrival and departure days count or which tax year receives a rolling period that crosses year-end. This calculator confirms the day route only with 183 legal days inside calendar 2026; a cross-year-only period needs review.
  • The DGI still links its 2023 Tax Code under the new IRPP page. That former code's article 62 used home, family, activity and wealth administration without this statutory 183-day route. Law 23/053 article 60 governs the new IRPP from 2026.
  • The enacted 2026 Finance Law and August 2026 rectifying law amend other provisions of Law 23/053; neither reviewed text amends article 60. This result is bounded to 2026 while later changes need review.

A permanent home or main stay, non-accessory professional activity, or qualifying state service can establish habitual residence with fewer recorded days. Treaty rules and Congolese-source income can apply independently of residence.

  • Article 2(1) gives a permanent-domicile route.

Article 2(3) covers an Egyptian national doing job duties abroad and paid by an Egyptian treasury.

  • The tax authority's fiscal code, published in Le Moniteur on 30 September 2026, took effect on 1 October 2026. Article 48(4)(c) treats a permanent home or a stay longer than six months during the fiscal year as tax domicile.

  • Article 48(4)(a), (b), (d) and (e) also cover the centre of economic interests, professional activity unless accessory to main activity abroad, habitual place of stay, and Haitian state agents on assignment abroad. Article 48(1) distinguishes worldwide income for residents from Haiti-source income for nonresidents.
  • The DGI's income-tax filing guidance places the fiscal year from 1 October to 30 September. Its older service guidance uses a 183-day shorthand for foreign individuals; the current code's six-month text controls this rule. Earlier fiscal years need their own law review.

  • An Indian citizen with such income over INR 15 lakh who is not liable to tax in any other country because of domicile or residence is deemed resident.

Iran: no general numerical day test; six months limits a documented foreign-residence route for Iranian nationals

  • Direct Taxes Act article 1(2)-(5) separates Iranian nationals resident in Iran, Iranian nationals resident abroad, and non-Iranians. It does not define residence by 183 travel days. The Ministry of Economic Affairs and Finance's OIETAI publication reproduces these clauses.
  • Article 180 concerns an Iranian national who proves through an Iranian financial or diplomatic mission that they paid foreign income tax as a resident in the relevant tax year. It treats that person as resident abroad unless they had an occupation in Iran, lived in Iran for at least six consecutive or intermittent months in that tax year, or stayed abroad for a mission, medical treatment or similar reason.
  • Article 155 defines the tax year as a Solar Hijri year from the first of Farvardin to the end of Esfand. Six months of living in Iran is not an interchangeable 180-, 183-, or 184-calendar-day test. The reviewed government-law print is from 2016; the current parliamentary law portal was inaccessible, so later amendment and exact part-day or intermittent-month methods remain unverified.

Article 180 may establish foreign residence for an Iranian national with certified foreign-resident tax and no listed exception. Nationality, occupation, purpose of absence, the exact Iranian tax year, and whether a person lived in Iran for six months need separate review. Travel dates alone cannot decide residence or the source-based tax treatment of non-Iranians.

Iraq: Residence depends on nationality, months of stay and work or domicile facts

  • The General Commission for Taxes' amended Income Tax Law 113/1982, article 1(10), defines an Iraqi individual as resident after at least four months of living in Iraq during the income year. Temporary absence with a permanent home and main work there is another route.
  • Article 1(10) separately covers an Iraqi state employee abroad, Arab nationals working in Iraq regardless of the length of stay, and other foreign nationals after at least six months in total or four continuous months. Employment by an Iraqi legal person or qualifying technical work can also matter for the last group.
  • These categories cannot be reduced to one 183-day count. Calendar travel dates do not prove living there, nationality, employment or the legal meaning of a month. Kurdistan's regional amendment also needs separate review when relevant.

Confirm nationality, income year, actual living arrangement, employment, temporary absence, and whether federal or Kurdistan-region law applies. A treaty can change the result. Recorded days alone do not decide residence.

Ireland: 183-day and 280-day tests

  • 183 days or more in the tax year (the calendar year), or
  • 280 days or more over the current and the previous tax year together.
  • A year with 30 days or fewer does not count for the 280-day test, and you are not resident in that year under it. So the 280-day test needs at least 31 days in each of the two years.

You can elect to be resident in some cases. After three resident years in a row you become ordinarily resident, which lasts until three non-resident years in a row.

Isle of Man: 183 days actually residing in the April-to-April tax year; or visits averaging over 90 days across four years; or qualifying intent

  • The Isle of Man submission says a person who resides there for 183 days or more in the 6 April–5 April tax year is resident. Recorded travel days alone do not prove actual residence.
  • Visits across four or more consecutive tax years must average more than 90 days per year. The individual is treated as resident from year five and later. This calculator checks completed prior periods, but needs confirmation of qualifying visit counts and no permanent departure.
  • A view or intent to establish residence makes a person resident from arrival. An intention at the outset to average more than 90 visit days per year can make the person resident from the first year.
  • The Government still links its 2007 practice note, but says old practice notes are not updated for later changes. Confirm the current position with the Assessor if these facts are material.

Actual residence, qualifying visit-day counts, original intent and permanent departure need facts beyond travel dates. An applicable treaty can affect treaty residence.

Israel: rebuttable 183-day and 30/425-day presumptions

  • At least 183 days in the calendar year presumes that the person's centre of life is in Israel.
  • At least 30 days this year and at least 425 days in this and the two preceding years create the same presumption.
  • Either side can rebut the presumption. Residence depends on family, economic and social ties, and special rules can apply to some people.

Jersey: accommodation, long-term move, or regular visits averaging more than 90 nights over four years

  • Revenue Jersey treats a permanent move or an intention to live in Jersey for five years or more as resident and ordinarily resident from arrival.
  • Staying for even one night in accommodation available for your use makes you resident for that tax year.
  • Someone who lives abroad but visits regularly and averages more than 90 nights a year over four years becomes resident and ordinarily resident from the start of year five. More than 360 nights in the four prior calendar years meets only the numerical part; regularity still needs confirmation.
  • The 183-day figure on Revenue Jersey's page belongs to a UK treaty employment exemption, and the 60-day figure belongs to a short-term business-visitor income-tax exemption. Neither is a general residence threshold.

Accommodation availability, purpose and duration of a move, frequency of visits, employment contracts and temporary absence can change the residence category. The calculator counts nights for the repeat-visit route and does not infer accommodation or intent from travel dates alone.

Kosovo: conflicting 183-day tax-administration and personal-income-tax residence definitions

  • Tax Administration Law 08/L-257 (2024) article 3(1.40) defines a resident for that law as someone with a temporary, usual or main residence in Kosovo, at least 183 days in a tax period, centre of vital interests there, or qualifying Kosovo government service abroad.
  • Personal Income Tax Law 05/L-028 article 2(1.18) defines a resident for PIT as someone with a main residence in Kosovo or physical presence for more than 183 days in any 12-month period. Its article 2(1.27) says a tax period is the calendar year or another prescribed reporting period.
  • Administrative Instruction 01/2016 repeats the PIT law's more-than-183 rolling test and counts arrival, departure and holiday days. The 2024 general administrative definition has not been reconciled with this specific PIT definition.

A confirmed main residence or at least 184 days in one calendar year meets both published day tests. Exactly 183 days in a tax period, or more than 183 only across a calendar-year boundary, needs a scope decision from the Tax Administration. Its 2024 law also names vital interests and Kosovo public service abroad. Treaty residence needs separate review.

Laos: permanent residence or living in Laos; no general day-only residence threshold

  • The National Assembly's amended Income Tax Law 88/NA of 25 June 2025 was published in the Lao Official Gazette on 19 June 2026. Article 3(11)-(12) defines resident and nonresident by permanent residence and living in Laos, alongside livelihood or business facts; it does not make 183 days a general residence threshold.
  • The separate more-than-183-day provision concerns income-tax liability for a foreign worker paid from abroad. It cannot establish residence for every visitor or determine that a shorter stay is nonresident. Treaty and income facts need separate review.
  • The government trade portal still publishes the superseded Income Tax Law 67/NA of 2019. Its article 3(13)-(14) used the same home/living definition, and article 76 made the law effective 1 January 2020. Its article 33 had the foreign-paid salary provision. The current gazette law is a Lao-language scanned PDF; a current official English translation and a statutory method for partial travel days were not found.

Permanent residence or actual living in Laos can establish residence without 184 days from 2020 onward. Earlier years need historical-law review. Livelihood, business, foreign-paid salary, treaties and the meaning of living there need fact review. The older 2019 law is superseded; its 183-day salary test must not be used as a general residence rule.

  • Current consolidated Tax Procedures Law 44/2008 article 1(11)(2), amended by Law 60/2016 and later Laws 106/2018 and 144/2019, treats a natural person as resident if present for more than 183 days, consecutively or intermittently, in 12 consecutive months. Exactly 183 days do not meet this route.
  • The same article gives separate routes for a place to practise a profession in Lebanon or a permanent home at the person's disposal that is the usual home of the person or family. Family includes a spouse and dependent children.
  • Periods present solely to pass from one foreign country to another or solely for medical treatment do not count toward 183 days. The Lebanese jurisdiction's OECD residency submission confirms these criteria. Law 60/2016 introduced the definition; earlier years and its 2016 transition need historical review. No official part-day method was verified.

A professional place or qualifying permanent family home can establish residence without 184 days.

Libya: Income-tax residence is not set by a general day threshold in the current law

  • Article 23 refers to a taxpayer who is not resident in Libya for representation. Article 33(9) exempts foreign income of Libyans and resident foreigners. Neither provision defines a number of days for residence.
  • Regulation No. 592 of 2010, article 48, refers to a person who is not permanently resident for withholding on occasional commercial work. It does not define general individual tax residence.
  • The 2025 amendment changes only article 25, on the state's time limit for tax claims. It does not add a residence day test.

Malawi: 183 days in an assessment year; later consolidated law also has a qualifying rolling route

  • The Malawi Revenue Authority's hosted Taxation Act section 2 says an individual is included as resident after an aggregate of at least 183 days in the year of assessment.
  • A later consolidation records Act 29 of 2010 changing the test to at least 183 days in any 12-month period commencing or ending in the year of assessment. The MRA PDF still has the older wording, so a rolling-only case needs direct review.
  • The Act defines a year of assessment as a 12-month period; MRA's tax-year regulation uses 1 April to 31 March. Confirm that this is the person's assessment period before using this calendar.
  • The Act does not define partial arrival- or departure-day counting. Confirm that recorded dates match the legal count. The 2026 amendment's new definition of principal residence concerns a dwelling and does not replace the person-resident day definition.

The statutory definition says 'includes', so a count below 183 cannot alone prove nonresidence. A different assessment period, other residence facts, treaty residence and any post-2014 amendment effects need direct review.

  • The tax-certificate instructions include arrival and departure days, but use more than 183 days for foreign or stateless applicants, while article 5 uses at least 183. A separate 12-month certificate for tax paid by a nonresident does not change the ordinary annual residence test.

Confirm any Tax Code article 5(6) nonresident exception before applying a day or domicile route. Permanent domicile can continue during treatment, rest, study or travel abroad, and for Moldovan state officials abroad. Certificate rules can count some linked work absences; their effect on ordinary Code residence needs review. Treaty residence also needs separate review.

Monaco: No general personal income tax; tax-formality certificate has conditional presence routes

  • Monaco does not levy a general personal income tax. The government identifies a special position for French nationals under the 1963 bilateral convention and says exemption applies to people actually established in Monaco.
  • The 2020 ordinance for certificates used in tax formalities defines principal or habitual stay as at least 183 days a year, or fewer than 183 days if Monaco is the person's longest stay among countries.
  • A non-Monegasque applicant also needs a valid residence card and proof of a Monaco home; main activity centre and household can be separate routes. The official application form says more than 183 days, unlike the ordinance's at least 183 days.

The 183-day number is a tax-formality certificate route, not a personal-income-tax charge. Nationality, residence card, home, other-country days and the Franco-Monegasque convention need review.

Montenegro: more than 183 days in the tax year or another article 3 residence route

  • The Tax Administration's consolidated Personal Income Tax Law, updated through Official Gazette 160/2025, article 3(1)(2), uses more than 183 days in the tax year. Article 7 makes the tax period the calendar year for individuals.
  • Article 3 also treats a person with domicile or centre of business and life interests in Montenegro as resident, and treats a qualifying assignment abroad for a Montenegrin resident or international organisation as residence.
  • The May 2026 Official Gazette 70/2026 amendment changes articles 10 and 50f, not the article 3 residence test. An official rule for counting partial arrival and departure days was not verified.

Myanmar: 183 days of residence in the financial income year for foreign individuals

  • Income Tax Law section 3(k)(i) defines a resident foreign individual as a foreigner who resides in Myanmar for not less than 183 days during the income year. It does not set a general 183-day test for Myanmar citizens.
  • The Law defines year as the financial year. The IRD's 2025–2026 income-tax return covers 1 April 2025 through 31 March 2026, and the 2026 Union Taxation Law takes effect on 1 April 2026. This rule is bounded to income years starting in 2025 or 2026.
  • The Law says 'resides' rather than merely 'is present' and does not state how partial arrival or departure days count. Confirm that at least 183 recorded dates are legal days of residing before treating the day route as established.
  • An older IRD application for a treaty residence certificate asks an employed foreigner about living in Myanmar for more than 183 days. Section 3(k)(i) instead says not less than 183. This calculator uses the statutory tax-residence boundary; certificate issuance at exactly 183 days needs separate review.
  • Section 3(m) defines a nonresident Myanmar citizen using residence and income abroad. Citizenship, earnings, any treaty and applicable tax treatment need separate review; foreigner day counts cannot decide a citizen's status.

Confirm foreigner status and the legal number of days residing, including partial travel dates. A count below 183 does not prove nonresidence from an incomplete travel record. Myanmar citizens, tax treaties and certificate applications need separate review.

  • From 1 January 2026, the Nigeria Tax Act defines a resident individual to include a person who sojourns in Nigeria for at least 183 days in a 12-month period.
  • Annual leave and temporary periods of absence are included in the statutory count. Travel dates alone can undercount these days, so a recorded total below 183 cannot establish nonresidence.
  • Domicile, a permanent place available for domestic use, habitual abode, substantial economic and immediate family ties, or Nigerian diplomatic service abroad are separate residence routes.

Palestine: 120 residence days for Palestinians, 183 for other individuals, or qualifying Palestinian public employment

  • The Palestinian Official Gazette's merged Income Tax Decree-Law 8/2011, article 1, defines a Palestinian who resides in Palestine for at least 120 days in the income year as resident. A non-Palestinian natural person needs at least 183 days. The days may be continuous or interrupted.
  • Article 1 also treats a Palestinian who was an employee of the Palestinian Authority or a local authority at any point during the year as resident, whether the work was inside or outside Palestine. Article 4 sets the Gregorian calendar year as the normal tax period, with prior approval possible for a taxpayer who closes accounts on another financial year.
  • The Gazette's merged text includes the 2014, 2015 and 2016 amendments. Its original law took effect on 24 October 2011, so the 2011 transition and earlier periods stay conditional. The reviewed official text does not define partial arrival or departure days or equate every visit with residing; positive day results require a confirmed legal count.

Papua New Guinea: 183 days in the fiscal tax year, subject to the usual-abode and intent exception

  • Income Tax Act 2025 section 10(2)(c) uses at least 183 days in the tax year. For an individual, the tax year is the fiscal year; official government tax guidance gives 1 January to 31 December.
  • Any part of a day in PNG counts as a whole day. Temporary absences for business, employment, recreation or a similar purpose also count, but the travel log cannot identify those absences.
  • The 183-day route does not apply if both the usual place of abode is outside PNG and the person does not intend to take up residence in PNG. Confirm these facts before treating 183 recorded days as conclusive.
  • Residing in PNG, domicile there without a permanent abode abroad, and PNG citizenship with a government posting abroad are separate routes. Sections 10(4)–(5) can limit the first or final year to days after first or before last physical presence.
  • The 2025 Act replaced the 1959 Act from 1 January 2026. Earlier tax years need the former law; the old 'more than half the year' wording must not be used for 2026.

  • A resident alien is a noncitizen whose residence is within the Philippines. The BIR uses residence and immigration facts rather than a universal day threshold.
  • A nonresident alien staying more than 180 days in a calendar year is deemed engaged in trade or business for income-tax treatment under section 25. That classification does not turn the person into a resident alien.
  • Citizen residence, alien registration and tax treaty facts require separate review.

Puerto Rico: Domicile; 183 calendar-year days create a rebuttable residence presumption

  • Hacienda says a merely temporary stay does not establish local residence even after 183 days. The calculator therefore does not turn recorded travel days alone into a confirmed resident result.
  • US federal bona fide residence for Puerto Rico is a separate test: an IRS presence route plus no tax home outside Puerto Rico and no closer connection elsewhere. The local presumption alone does not prove federal status.

Rwanda: 183 days in the tax period or presence plus a two-year average above 122

  • Current Law 027/2022, article 4, uses at least 183 days in the calendar tax period. The older rolling 12-month test was replaced.
  • Presence in the current tax period also qualifies when presence in each of the two preceding tax periods averages more than 122 days: more than 244 days across those two periods, with presence in both.
  • Permanent residence, habitual abode and a Rwandan representing Rwanda abroad are separate routes. A written ministerial approval can allow a different tax period.
  • The tax authority still hosts an older FAQ with the superseded more-than-183-in-12-months wording.

A home, habitual abode, government representation, an approved different tax period and tax treaty facts can change the result.

Samoa: 183 days in a 12-month period commencing or ending in the calendar tax year

  • Income Tax Act 2012 section 6(1)(b) uses at least 183 days of presence in any 12-month period that commences or ends in the calendar tax year. The visits can be separate.
  • The Act does not define how a partial arrival or departure day counts. Confirm that the recorded travel dates meet Samoa's legal day count before treating the presence route as established.
  • A home in Samoa, or Samoan citizenship with Government or statutory-authority service, is a separate residence route. Section 6(2)–(3) can limit the first or final resident year to the period of actual presence.
  • The Act applies from 1 January 2013. The Attorney General's 2023 consolidation includes the 2022 amendment; the Ministry for Revenue's current document library lists that amendment as the latest income-tax amendment.

San Marino: Registered residence or abode for most of the calendar tax year; or centre of vital interests

  • Current consolidated Income Tax Law 166/2013 article 10 says an individual is resident if registered as resident for most of the tax period, lives in San Marino for most of it, or has the centre of vital interests there.
  • Article 3 defines the tax period as the calendar year. Most of it means at least 183 days in a 365-day year or 184 days in a 366-day year, but travel dates alone do not prove that each day was a day lived there.
  • Article 2 defines abode as where a person conducts private life, whether or not registered or domiciled. The law does not specify how to count arrival and departure part-days for the abode route.

Registered residence and centre of vital interests can establish residence without the counted-abode route. A treaty may change the final position.

Senegal: Tax domicile from a permanent home, main stay, work or economic interests; no numeric day test in the reviewed code

  • The tax authority's 2025 General Tax Code, article 48(III), treats a permanent home or main place of stay in Senegal as tax domicile. Main professional activity and the centre of economic interests are separate routes.

  • The authority lists the January 2025 code as its current published edition. A complete 2026 amendment review was unavailable, so this calculator does not turn recorded days alone into a 2026 residence finding.

Suriname: tax residence depends on where the person lives under the circumstances, with return and public-service deeming rules

  • The Tax Authority's Income Tax Law 1922, consolidated through State Gazette 2024 No. 3, article 1(2)(a) makes individuals who live in Suriname domestic income-tax payers. Article 3(1) says where someone lives is assessed from the circumstances, without a fixed number of days.
  • Article 3(2) deems a person to have lived in Suriname during an absence if they return to live there within one year after leaving and did not live elsewhere. Article 3(3) deems a Surinamese national employed by a Surinamese public-law body abroad, plus specified spouse and minor children, to live in Suriname.
  • The same law's article 28(2)(b) uses more than 183 days for certain construction work that creates a permanent establishment. That is a business-income rule, not an individual tax-residence test. The ministry's current income-tax page repeats the living-in-Suriname criterion; a later residence amendment was not found in the reviewed official sources.

  • If the preceding tests still cannot determine residence, Ukrainian citizenship is a further fallback. Treaty residence can differ from domestic residence.

  • 183 days or more in the relevant 12 consecutive months, or
  • 90 days or more in the relevant 12 consecutive months, if you are a UAE or GCC national or hold a valid UAE residence permit, and you have a permanent place of residence or a job or business in the UAE.
  • The UAE has no personal income tax. The test matters for a tax residency certificate and for treaties.
  • Days caused by exceptional circumstances that stop a planned departure are disregarded. A treaty certificate can use the treaty's own residence test.

Your usual or primary residence and the centre of your financial and personal interests can establish domestic residence at any day count. A UAE corporate-tax Resident Person and a treaty resident are separate concepts.

United Kingdom: Statutory Residence Test

  • Automatically resident: 183 days or more in the tax year (6 April to 5 April). A UK home or full-time work in the UK can also make you resident.
  • Automatically non-resident: fewer than 16 days if you were UK resident in one or more of the three previous tax years; fewer than 46 days if you were resident in none of them; or full-time work abroad with fewer than 91 days in the UK.
  • Otherwise, the number of ties decides. If you were resident in one or more of the three previous tax years: 16 to 45 days need 4 ties, 46 to 90 need 3, 91 to 120 need 2, and 121 to 182 need 1.
  • If you were resident in none of the three previous tax years: 46 to 90 days need all 4 ties, 91 to 120 need 3, and 121 to 182 need 2.
  • The ties are family, accommodation, work, 90 days in either of the two previous tax years, and, for a person who was resident before, spending more time in the UK than in any other country.
  • A day counts if you are in the UK at midnight. With 3 or more ties, days when you were in the UK but left before midnight can count after the first 30.

The Statutory Residence Test is the whole UK test: days, the automatic tests and ties. Split-year treatment can divide the year of a move.

United States: Substantial Presence Test

  • At least 31 days in the current calendar year, and
  • at least 183 days over three years: every day of the current year, plus one third of the days of the year before, plus one sixth of the days of the year before that.
  • Closer-connection exception: with fewer than 183 days in the current year, a tax home abroad for the whole year and a closer connection to that country, you can claim to be non-resident on Form 8840.
  • Days do not count for regular commuters from Canada or Mexico, transit of less than 24 hours, crew of foreign vessels, a medical condition that stops you leaving, and exempt individuals such as diplomats, teachers and students on certain visas.

A green card makes you resident whatever your days. US citizens are taxed on worldwide income wherever they live.

Uruguay: more than 183 days in the calendar year

  • More than 183 days of actual presence in the calendar year establishes fiscal residence.
  • An absence of at most 30 consecutive days can count as sporadic unless the person proves tax residence in another country.
  • Family, main activity, economic interests and specified investments can establish residence with fewer physical days.

The travel log does not classify transit, sporadic absences or foreign tax certificates. The 2026 newcomer income-tax option changes tax treatment, not this residence threshold.

Uzbekistan: more than 183 days in a qualifying 12-month period

  • Tax Code article 30 treats more than 183 calendar days in any consecutive 12-month period beginning or ending in the tax period as residence.
  • A person with fewer than 183 days in Uzbekistan can also be resident if they spent more days there than in any other single state in the tax period.
  • Short treatment or study abroad does not interrupt presence. Qualifying foreign diplomatic, consular, international-organisation and family presence is excluded.
  • Uzbek military and public officials posted abroad can be resident regardless of days; a person can apply for early recognition with a long-term employment contract or other proof.

A complete travel history, reason for absences, diplomatic status, government service, early application and treaty facts need separate review.

Vanuatu: No income tax; 183-day VAT and CRS residence tests have separate scope

  • Vanuatu Customs states that Vanuatu has no income-tax system. Its 2019 VAT amendment defines a resident individual for VAT at 183 days in any 12 months commencing or ending in the calendar year, or through a home or government-service route.
  • The 2024 CRS guide uses the same 183-day route for checking a Vanuatu tax-residence self-certification. Another section of that guide repeats an older VAT definition of 12 months in the prior 24 months, which the 2019 amendment replaced.
  • These VAT and CRS classifications do not create a personal-income-tax day threshold.

Home, government service, VAT registration, CRS self-certification and foreign tax residence are separate. A 183-day stay must not be shown as a personal income-tax alert.

Venezuela: More than 183 days in the calendar year or qualifying prior-year presence

  • Income Tax Law article 51 defines a nonresident as a person who stays no more than 183 days in the calendar year and is not domiciled under the Organic Tax Code. Its paragraph also treats more than 183 continuous days in the previous calendar year as residence.
  • Organic Tax Code article 30(1) treats more than 183 continuous or discontinuous days in the current or previous calendar year as tax domicile. Its first paragraph makes this domicile definition relevant when tax laws refer to residence.
  • The Income Tax Law's prior-year paragraph specifies a continuous stay, while the later Tax Code also names discontinuous stays. A split prior-year stay needs a direct interpretation of the two texts.
  • Neither official text defines how partial arrival and departure days count. The recorded date count alone cannot prove that more than 183 full days were spent in Venezuela.

An established home in Venezuela can create tax domicile unless the person meets the Code's foreign-stay and foreign-residence evidence conditions. Paid Venezuelan public service abroad is another route. Venezuelan nationality creates a rebuttable residence presumption. Treaty residence needs separate review.

Vietnam: 183 days in a year or first 12 months

  • At least 183 days in a calendar year or the 12 consecutive months from first presence establishes residence.
  • A registered regular home or a qualifying lease can establish residence with fewer days, subject to proof of foreign residence in some cases.
  • Arrival and departure days count; entry and exit on the same day count as one day.

Yemen: 183 days in 12 months ending in the tax year, a permanent home, or a Yemeni national paid from Yemen while working abroad

  • Income Tax Law 17/2010 article 3(First)(2) treats a natural person without a permanent home as resident after at least 183 consecutive or intermittent days in 12 months ending in that tax year. Exactly 183 confirmed days meet the test; it is not only a calendar-year count.
  • Article 3(First)(1) independently covers a permanent place of residence in Yemen. Article 3(First)(3) independently covers a Yemeni national working abroad who receives job income from Yemen. Article 3(Third) treats a natural person who meets none of these routes as nonresident.
  • Article 7 starts the ordinary tax year on 1 January. Article 171 makes the 2010 law effective on 31 December 2010; this calculator keeps 2010 and earlier conditional. Both the Sanaa and Aden tax authorities publish Law 17/2010, and the Sanaa authority's 2020 Law 8 amends article 160 only. No official partial travel-day method or later article 3 amendment was verified.

A permanent home or qualifying Yemeni nationality, overseas work and job income from Yemen can establish residence without 183 days. Confirm full days before a positive presence-only result. Tax treaties and income-source rules need separate review; residence alone does not make every individual income item worldwide-taxable.

Zambia: 183 days of actual residence in a calendar charge year

  • Income Tax Act section 4(1) treats an individual as resident for a charge year if the individual actually resides in Zambia for 183 days in total, even for a temporary purpose.
  • A person who comes with a view or intent to establish residence can be resident before 183 days. Act 27 of 2011 changed the charge year to January through December from 2013.
  • The Act does not define how to count partial days or whether a recorded visit is actual residence; those facts need direct review.

Intent to establish residence, whether recorded presence is actual residence, and treaty facts can change the result.

Zimbabwe: Ordinary residence depends on facts; no current general day trigger

  • The current Income Tax Act uses ordinary residence for individuals but gives no general number of days that creates it.
  • Its section 12 definition of a temporary absence of no more than 183 days applies to the source of employment income, not to acquiring residence.
  • The 2012 Income Tax Bill proposed a 183-day residence test. ZIMRA still labels it a bill and says it was open for comment before passage; the current Act remains Chapter 23:06.

Ordinary residence, income source and any applicable treaty require individual review.

Treaty rules: OECD Model Tax Convention (2017), article 15(2): “not exceeding in the aggregate 183 days in any twelve month period commencing or ending in the fiscal year concerned”, and article 4(2) for the order of the tie-breaker tests. Each real treaty can differ from the Model.

How the calculator counts

  • Each stay counts from the day you arrived to the day you left. Where a country counts the nights (the UK at midnight, Portugal a night spent there, Cyprus the arrival day only), the day you left does not count.
  • Where the law does not say how a part day counts, the calculator counts any part of a day. That is the cautious choice: it never shows fewer days than the authority could count.
  • A travel day can count in two countries.
  • The year you choose sets the displayed period. Each country rule below states its tax year or rolling window and any limits on assigning the result to an income year.
  • Multi-year tests read the earlier years from the stays you entered. Days you did not enter count as zero.
  • A continuous-stay test (Switzerland, Germany) treats any day away as an interruption. The law ignores short interruptions, so ask an adviser about breaks.
  • It does not apply the special day rules for transit passengers, crew, students, diplomats or medical stays, and for the UK it does not ask the home and full-time work tests.
