If your schedule depends on counting residency days, travel extension residency day counter provides a concise method for counting dates and verifying results in 2026.

  2. Select the counting rule that matches entry/exit counting rules, stay limits, and overstay risk.
  3. Run the calculator and review the breakdown.
