How secure it is

“Days to keep” — the physical-presence rule that keeps the status alive — is the column no other index publishes. It’s also exactly what Countly counts.

More than 12 consecutive months outside Czechia (EU/Schengen) without a recognized serious-reason exception risks revocation of permanent residence.

Indefinite statusAllowed

Revocation can follow prolonged absence as above, serious criminal conviction, fraud in obtaining the permit, or a threat to public…

Tax residency · separate clock183 days

staying past 183 days typically makes you a tax resident — a different count, also worth tracking.
