The ordinary Czech five-year permanent-residence route includes a 310-day aggregate absence component.
The rule
Individual absences must also satisfy the six-month test unless an exception applies. The counter does not verify which residence periods or exceptional absences qualify.
Counting the days
Departure and return dates do not count; missing trips are not inferred.
- Choose the date through which you want to count, then add your recorded visits.
- Use the counting convention above. Include recorded trips abroad and returns home, so the tool can distinguish separate absences.
- Read the result alongside the conditions. Missing records and other eligibility requirements are not inferred from a total.
Examples
These examples demonstrate the counter's arithmetic, using a count-through date of 30 October 2026. They do not determine legal status or eligibility.

Common misconceptions
“A counter result is the same as permission or eligibility.”
The counter measures recorded dates. Your actual permission, status and other conditions remain separate.
“A new calendar year resets this counter.”
This is a rolling window. Dates leave the window as time moves forward.
