## What is VisaStay?

How many days do you actually have left?

VisaStay answers that instantly — for every trip, every passport, every country. Built for frequent international travelers and digital nomads who are tired of doing visa math in their head.

TRACK EVERY DAY
• Live countdown for every trip, from your passport's real visa rules (157 countries, 33 passports)
• Schengen 90/180, calculated live on every trip card — no spreadsheets
• Planned trips are checked too — see a future Schengen or visa breach before you book
• Tap "I've left" to log your real exit, so day counts match your passport stamps
• Any visa type — tourist, eVisa, ETA, business, student, work, digital nomad — set an override and the countdown follows YOUR visa
• Visa Calendar with every deadline in one view, plus a "+" marker when your visa allows more days than you've planned
• Extension-aware — know when a stay is extendable in-country and by how many days
• Pre-arrival requirements flagged — TDAC, arrival cards, registrations — before you land

STAY COMPLIANT
• Tax residency alerts with the correct per-country threshold — 183 in most countries, 180 in Thailand, 182 in Malaysia, 60 in Cyprus
• Passport expiry warnings, months ahead, right on your home screen
• Automatic ETIAS flagging for destinations that require it
• Up to 12 reminder rules, push AND email, from 90 days out to departure day — and alert emails can go to someone else, like your accountant
• Monthly compliance digest — days per country, Schengen window, and upcoming departures, emailed on the 1st. When your accountant asks, the answer is already in your inbox

PLAN YOUR NEXT MOVE
• "Where next?" — when your days run low, see every destination your passport enters visa-free or visa-on-arrival, longest stay first
• Preview any passport — enter a different nationality on a new trip to see its rules instantly, without changing your profile

SHARE + EXPORT
• Shareable trip cards — country, flag, days, your own photo — without ever granting photo-library access
• CSV + PDF export — your full history, formatted for your accountant or a visa application

BUILT LIKE IT MATTERS
• Offline-first — biometric unlock, cached countdowns and trips, edits sync when you're back
• Biometric app lock — Face ID/Touch ID keeps your travel history private
• One account, always in sync across every device you sign into

DATA YOU CAN TRUST
Every visa rule is hand-audited against official government immigration sources, passport by passport, destination by destination — and updated as rules change. Full list of the official sources we use: https://privacy.headfirstservices.com/sources.html

PRIVACY FIRST
No location tracking. No photo library access. Your travel history lives behind your fingerprint and exports whenever you want it — it's yours.

Free to start: unlimited travel history, 5 active trips, no ads. VisaStay Pro adds unlimited trips, email alerts, "Where next?", the monthly digest, and CSV + PDF export. Hate subscriptions? The Founder Lifetime Pass is a single one-time purchase — every Pro feature, forever.

### 5/5 — Expat Saver

*2026-07-03*

I tried this on a whim and wish it had been in place when I was living overseas moving country to country. There’s no other product that lets you easily Enter your travel dates and keep track of your visas and travel requirements so seamlessly.

**Developer response:** Thanks so much for trying VisaStay and taking the time to write this — really glad it would've saved you the headache of tracking everything by hand. If you ever hit a country or edge case the app doesn't handle well, email privacy@headfirstservices.com and I'll get it fixed. More Schengen and tax-tracking improvements are on the way. — Greg, VisaStay developer
