A count only when the rule is verified

## Going to South Korea? Keep the trip in Stretch.

Where a stay length is verified, see days left, the exit date and reminders. Other trips still stay in your travel history. Coming to the App Store and Google Play.

Stretch is a tracker, not legal advice. Rules change; the destination's officials decide at the border. Detail pages label the evidence and last-checked date for each rule, show an official check when one is recorded, and say plainly when one is not. Rulebook build 2026-08-30; this page is regenerated from it automatically.
