Question 1

Does every day in a country count toward the 183-day threshold?

Accepted Answer

Most countries count any calendar day you're physically present, regardless of purpose — transit, business, or leisure. Exact rules and counting methods vary by jurisdiction.

Question 2

What are 'unaccounted days'?

Accepted Answer

Days that don't appear in your travel log — gaps between recorded stays. Tax inspectors ask about these first, because each unaccounted day is a day your location is undocumented. Elcano surfaces these gaps proactively.

Question 3

Is Elcano a tax tool?

Accepted Answer

No. Elcano is a travel record system. It produces a document of self-entered day counts and a methodology statement explaining how they were calculated. It is not a tax declaration, legal advice, or a certified compliance document.

Question 4

Do I need an account to use Elcano?

Accepted Answer

No. Elcano works fully without an account — your data stays on your device. Sign in only if you want to back up your record or access it from multiple devices.

Question 5

Can I track the Schengen 90/180 rule?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Schengen 90/180 is tracked alongside country-specific thresholds. The rolling 180-day window updates automatically as you add entries.
