Citizenship day counter

What Dwelltime counts

Count the days toward a passport: physical-presence requirements for naturalisation and the absence limits behind them. See how many days are still needed and the earliest day you qualify.

Every rule links to the government page it was read from, and every day in the count links to where it came from — a stamp, a trip you typed, a photo you confirmed. Not knowing is reported as unknown, never as zero.
