Organise the facts behind a residency question.
Collect travel dates, countries and personal ties before reviewing residency. A clearer timeline is useful; a day count alone is not a residency ruling.
For People moving, travelling or working across countries.
Build a timeline you can verify
Collect arrival and departure dates and compare them with travel records. Keep uncertain dates visible rather than filling gaps with guesses. The residency workspace helps gather facts for a review conversation. Different jurisdictions can use different tests and counting conventions, so a timeline should preserve the original events rather than only a single total.
Look beyond the number of days
Home, family, employment and other connections may matter alongside physical presence. A familiar threshold is not a universal answer. TaxBot’s record-gathering workflow helps organise relevant information, but it cannot settle every cross-border question from a short questionnaire. Treat an uncertain result as a reason to seek advice, especially where two countries may have an interest.
Prepare for a cross-border discussion
A worker on an overseas assignment may need employment and travel evidence; a returning resident may need a timeline of changing ties; a business owner may need to separate personal residency from the business’s position. Keep those questions distinct. The example below is only a preparation checklist and deliberately avoids presenting an automatic tax-residency verdict.
Before you begin
- Travel dates and source records
- Countries and reporting periods
- Home, family and employment ties
- Uncertainties and cross-border questions
No day count or checklist here establishes tax residency. Country-specific tests, treaties and individual facts require appropriate professional review.
Everyday examples
An office worker on assignment
Collects travel and employment details before assuming the host country is the only relevant jurisdiction.
A returning family
Builds a timeline of changes in home and work arrangements.
A mobile business owner
Separates personal residency questions from company obligations.

Questions
Does spending a certain number of days decide residency?
Not universally. The applicable jurisdiction, tests, ties and treaty position can all matter.
Is this an official ruling?
No. The workflow organises facts and questions for review; it does not issue a government or professional ruling.
