How it works

travel extension entry and exit planning was built to make planning entry and exit dates easier to explain. It combines the calculator with guidance on inputs, assumptions, and documentation.

travel extension entry and exit planning turns planning entry and exit dates into a clear timeline by combining the calculator with guidance on entry/exit counting rules, stay limits, and overstay risk and verification steps.

Record the final result with the inputs and counting method to keep audits or reviews consistent.

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.

Examples

  • Example walkthrough: start on January 15, 2025, end on March 3, 2025, and note whether weekends are included for planning entry and exit dates.

Why it matters
