What these limits mean when you're moving around

Days per visit: Each stay is counted from the day you arrive until the day you leave. The notes list any extra conditions, such as how often you can enter.
Days per calendar year: Every day you spend there between 1 January and 31 December adds up, across all your visits, and the count starts again on 1 January.
Days in any rolling window: On any day, the days you've spent there in the window up to that day must stay under the limit. Older days drop out as the window moves forward, so your days left change as you travel. Some countries count the period from your first entry instead; the notes say when.

How days are counted. Visa365 counts any part of a day as a full day, so the day you travel counts for both countries. That way it never counts fewer days than you actually spent somewhere. Official rules can count differently, so check the sources below.

Tracking Malaysia with Visa365

For the most common stay limit here, you'd add a days-per-visit limit of 90 days. In the app's entry rules for Malaysia, pick your passport and one tap fills in the limit that applies to you. Visa365 shows your days left and leave-by date, and alerts you at the days-left counts you choose. It logs your days there automatically in the background, even offline.
