Nigeria’s presence route uses at least 183 days in a 12-month period, including annual leave or temporary absences.
The rule
Domicile, an available permanent home, habitual abode, and substantial economic or immediate family ties can also affect residence. A physical-travel total does not automatically add qualifying absences or settle these other conditions.
Counting the days
Recorded arrival and departure dates count once. Missing travel history, other eligibility conditions and treaty outcomes are not calculated.
- Choose the date through which you want to count, then add your recorded visits.
- Use the counting convention above. Overlapping recorded dates in the relevant region are counted only once.
- Read the result alongside the conditions. Missing records and other eligibility requirements are not inferred from a total.
Examples

Common misconceptions
“A tracker target is a legal residency test.”
This page records presence as evidence. The tracker target does not create a statutory minimum or decide domicile.
“A new calendar year resets this counter.”
This is a rolling window. Dates leave the window as time moves forward.
