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.

Indefinite statusAllowed

prolonged absence as above, plus a serious criminal conviction or being deemed a threat to public order/security

Tax residency · separate clock183 days
