We could not reach an official government page for this one when we checked. What follows is the best published source we could read — treat it as a lead, not as the rule, and confirm with the consulate.

Sources are listed further down the page.

## What to know before you apply

Senegal has no digital nomad or remote work visa. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs publishes only the ordinary entry rules: nationals of a long list of countries (including all 28 EU states, the USA, Canada, Brazil, China and Japan, plus 19 African states) may enter without a visa for stays under three months, needing only "un passeport ou un laisser passer... (ces documents doivent avoir une validité de 6 mois minimum)"; other nationals must obtain a visa. In practice remote workers use the 90-day visa-free stay. For a longer stay the route is a carte d'identité d'étranger / carte de séjour applied for through the Ministry of the Interior, but that requirement could not be quoted from an official page — the Senegalese MFA visa-application page (diplomatie.gouv.sn/index.php/demande-de-visa) currently returns a Drupal database error and senegalservices.sn returned no content, so no figures, fees or durations for the residence card are recorded here.

## What it means for your tax days

A visa is permission to stay; tax residency follows the days you actually spend. Check Senegal's tax authority for the day test that applies to you — and count the days either way.

A visa and tax residency are different things: the visa lets you stay, the tax rules follow the days you actually spend. Check Senegal's tax authority for the day test that applies to you.

**How does Stretch help with the Senegal stay?**

Log the day you land and Stretch counts the days against the permission you are on, shows the date you must be out, and reminds you at 14, 7, 3 and 1 days. It also tallies the days that count towards tax residency, so the 183-day question answers itself. The counting and the alerts are free, forever.
