Tax residency
Easy to leaveWhat makes you a tax resident — and how hard it is to stop being one.
- more than 183 days physically present in Tuvalu in a calendar year
Tax residence is based on a simple 183‑day physical‑presence test, so an individual generally ceases to be tax resident by leaving Tuvalu and remaining under the day‑count in subsequent years.
