How it works

entry permit entry and exit planning is designed for travelers who need reliable planning entry and exit dates answers. It highlights the exact inputs, the counting rule, and how to document results for reuse.

entry permit entry and exit planning keeps planning entry and exit dates accurate by making the counting rules explicit, including entry/exit counting rules, stay limits, and overstay risk.

If multiple stakeholders are involved, share the inputs and counting rules alongside the result so everyone uses the same timeline.

Run the baseline calculation first, then compare the result to a manual spot-check. This helps catch off-by-one errors in planning entry and exit dates.

  1. Confirm the official start date and end date for your scenario.
  2. Select the counting rule that matches entry/exit counting rules, stay limits, and overstay risk.
  3. Run the calculator and review the breakdown.
  4. Save the result with the inputs and assumptions for reuse.
