Before you rely on it

Common before-applying questions

Is this immigration advice?

No. Use it to narrow the routes worth checking, then open the government or consular page before applying.

Why are some routes marked manual check?

Some official pages do not clearly publish fields like renewal, tax treatment, government fees, or stay length. Those rows stay useful but visibly incomplete.

How fresh is the data?

Each verified route shows when the source was checked and how complete the record is. Draft rows stay out of the default results.

Can I compare two countries?

Yes. Comparison pages focus on realistic shortlists where users need tradeoffs, blockers, and official next steps in one place.
