The days that keep it alive

Presence rules are where residence permits are won and lost — and they’re exactly what Countly counts. From the immigration authority:

Max absence6 consecutive months

No minimum days per year required to keep the permit while the application/permit is active; an absence longer than roughly 6 consecutive months can…

Minimum presenceno statutory minimum

no fixed presence requirement is published for this status — but keep evidence of ties.

Tax residency · separate clock183 days

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

This status does not add visa-free access beyond the passport itself — its value is in rights, path and security.
