Short answers about Residency. If yours is not here, write to support@residencyrules.com.
What is Residency?
Residency is an iPhone app that builds your travel history from your photos and counts your days against visa, tax residency and citizenship rules. It warns you before you cross a line.
Does it count Schengen days?
Yes. It counts stays under the Schengen 90/180 rule across the rolling 180-day window and shows the days you have left, when you must leave and when you can return.
Does it track tax residency?
Yes, in either direction: toward becoming resident or toward staying non-resident. It tracks day-count thresholds and tests such as the IRS substantial presence test, and alerts you before you cross one.
Does it help with citizenship or permanent residence?
Yes. It tracks physical presence toward naturalisation and for Green Card holders, and shows how each trip affects the timeline.
Can it detect trips I have already taken?
Yes. You can import your trips from the Photos library automatically.
Is my data private?
Yes. Every photo scan, day count and document is processed on your device. There is no account, and nothing is uploaded to us.
Is Residency legal or tax advice?
No. Residency counts days against the rules you choose. Check decisions with an immigration or tax adviser.
What does it cost?
Residency needs a subscription to unlock all features. Weekly and annual plans are available, and a free trial may be available.
