Travel freely. Know your limits. Nomad Days automatically tracks where you've been and how long you've stayed, helping international travelers stay ahead of visa limits, tax residency thresholds, and the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion (FEIE). No more spreadsheets, manually counting days, or trying to reconstruct months of travel before tax season. AUTOMATIC TRAVEL HISTORY Build a complete timeline of your travels without logging every trip manually. Nomad Days uses location data to keep your travel history up to date and can use photo metadata and calendar events to help reconstruct past trips. See every country, trip, and day in one simple timeline and calendar. VISA STAY LIMITS Know how many days you've spent in a country or region—and how many you have left. Nomad Days tracks different types of stay limits, including rolling windows and calendar-based limits, helping you plan your travels and avoid accidental overstays. TAX RESIDENCY THRESHOLDS 183 days isn't always the whole story. Track country-specific tax residency thresholds and see how close you're getting as you travel throughout the year.
