Here’s a post with some thoughts on how to use NFC tags with SmartThings on Android (using SharpTools):

How far can we go with automation? (Integrating NFC tags with SmartThings)

Let me know if you need help setting things up. I’m the developer of SharpTools and I would be happy to help. This is probably easiest to accomplish with the help of Trigger + Tasker + SharpTools. Here’s an article about using Trigger to use an NFC tag to call a Tasker Task. From the Tasker side of things, you would just need to create a new Task using the ‘A Phrase’ plugin from SharpTools to run the desired Routine.

In your case, you would use Trigger to recognize the NFC tag which would trigger your SharpTools “A Thing” profile in Tasker. For presence purposes, you can use a Simulated Presence Device and call the arrived and departed commands as desired.
