Our Physical Presence Calculator for New Zealand Citizenship helps you check your eligibility by working out the number of days you have been in NZ for New Zealand Citizenship. Add your previous departure and arrival date and all dates (over the last five years), and this tool automatically calculates the total number of days you’ve been in the country. It then splits this across the five individual 12-month periods as mandated by the Department of Internal Affairs, providing an easy-to-understand snapshot.

The tool will alert you when you fail any of these: you must have no less than the required presence in any 12-month period, and you fail to meet the required total stay. Plus, its simple-to-use layout and easy-to-read results take the guesswork out of your path to citizenship, and present it in a more straightforward, manageable way. If you’re getting ready to apply or just planning for the future, this is the tool to make sure you’re in the know and on the go.
