Travel and presence records checklist

Evidence that can support a day count, and what to keep for each stay.

Evidence per stay

  • Boarding passes or e-tickets
  • Passport entry and exit stamps, or border records you can request
  • Hotel invoices or a lease
  • Card statements showing where you spent
  • Work calendar or timesheets showing where you worked

Habits that help

  • Log stays in the day ledger the week they happen
  • Record local dates, not your home time zone
  • Mark future trips as planned until they happen
  • Download a ledger backup every month
