My Days Abroad Pro

Your absences in order, and the proof ready for your application.

Pro reads your UK absences from your calendar, turns your history into reports you can hand over, and emails you before you go over the Schengen limit.

Calendar sync

Your UK absences, straight from your calendar

Connect Google Calendar or Apple once and the naturalisation calculator reads your flights: when you left the UK, where you went and when you came back. Read only: we never change your calendar.

Ideal for anyone who has to list five years of trips and cannot recall the exact dates

Reports and exports

Proof ready to hand over

Download your absences and your whole history as PDF, Excel or CSV in one click, ready for your citizenship application, a solicitor or an accountant.

Ideal for citizenship and ILR applications, tax returns and visa questions

Email alerts

We warn you before you go over

If a planned trip would take you past 90 days, you get an email while there is still time to change plans.

Ideal for anyone who goes in and out of Schengen without counting every day

An email alert warning that planned trips go over the Schengen limit on a given date

Priced so you do not have to think twice

One day too many can cost far more: a citizenship application with a fee of over £1,700 at stake, an overstay fine or a tax residency you did not expect. A single hour with an adviser usually costs more than a whole year of Pro.
