Home, family and economic ties decide it.
Noverstay counts the day you arrive and the day you leave as full days.
Tax residency in Mexico
No day count. Resident if your home is in Mexico; with homes in two countries, if your centre of vital interests is there (e.g. over 50% of income from Mexico).
Keeping a residence permit
The Migration Law sets no maximum absence for temporary residents. Keep the card valid and renew it before expiry (up to 4 years in total).
How Noverstay keeps you inside the limit
The app logs the country you wake up in, even when it’s closed, and counts every rule above for your passport. It tells you the date you must leave by and reminds you 14 days before. Plan a trip first and it shows every limit it touches.
