Tax residency in Philippines
No day test for residency: a resident alien lives in the Philippines (e.g. ACR I-Card). Over 180 days in a calendar year makes a non-resident 'engaged in trade or business', taxed on Philippine income at regular rates.
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.
