Tax residency in Svalbard
An individual is regarded as tax resident in Svalbard if they establish their permanent home and habitual abode there, or if their physical presence in Svalbard exceeds more than 183 days in any rolling 12‑month period or more than 270 days in any rolling 36‑month period; in a presence‑based case, residency is deemed to commence from the first day of the stay within the relevant period in which the threshold is reached, and days of actual presence are counted while brief absences do not prevent meeting the threshold.
This summary is general information, not tax or legal advice. Rules change and individual circumstances vary — confirm with a qualified adviser before making decisions.
Voyage Manager counts your days in Svalbard — and everywhere else — automatically, and warns you before thresholds are reached.
