Residency day tracker

What Dwelltime counts

Track presence toward permanent residence and the absence caps that protect a green card or residence permit you already hold — every day exportable for the next renewal.

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.

Rules in this group

• 🇺🇸US naturalization presenceAt least half of the five-year statutory period — 913 days. A single absence of six months or more can also break continuity of residence, which this counter does not track.>=913 / 1826
• 🇺🇸US green card — absenceAn absence of a year or more is treated as abandonment; six months or more invites questioning at the border. This counter is a conservative 180-day warning over a rolling year and is not the statutory test.<=179 AWAY / 365
• 🇨🇦Canada PR residency obligation730 days in every five-year period. Time accompanying a Canadian citizen spouse abroad can also count and is not tracked here.>=730 / 1826
• 🇨🇦Canada citizenship presence1,095 days in the five years before applying. Time as a temporary resident may count at half rate, up to 365 days — not tracked here.>=1095 / 1826
• 🇬🇧UK settlement — absencesNo more than 180 days outside the UK in any rolling 12 months across the qualifying period.<=180 AWAY / 365
• 🇳🇱Netherlands EU long-term residenceUses the Schengen area as a proxy for the EU; the two sets are close but not identical, and Ireland is missing from it.<=180 AWAY / 365

• 🇬🇧UK citizenship — absencesNo more than 450 days outside the UK across the five-year period, and no more than 90 in the final twelve months. Both must hold; discretion above them exists but is not a plan.<=450 AWAY / 1826
