What the tool measures
The recorded-day component

Norway has two cumulative presence routes: more than 183 days in 12 months or more than 270 days in 36 months.

Who it applies to

People moving or returning to Norway who are reviewing cumulative presence over both statutory windows.

The rule

Whole days and part-days count. The year in which tax residence begins can depend on how your visits fall across income years. Leaving Norway has separate conditions; the same totals do not automatically end residence.

Counting the days

Recorded arrival and departure dates count once. Missing travel history, other eligibility conditions and treaty outcomes are not calculated.

  1. Choose the date through which you want to count, then add your recorded visits.
  2. Use the counting convention above. Overlapping recorded dates in the relevant region are counted only once.
  3. Read the result alongside the conditions. Missing records and other eligibility requirements are not inferred from a total.

Common misconceptions

“A count below the day threshold settles tax residence.”

A recorded-day total is one component. Review the separate conditions and exceptions described on this page.

“Unrecorded days are included in the total.”

The calculator uses only the dates you enter. Missing history can make the result incomplete.
