Before you rely on it

Common decision questions

Is this immigration advice?

No. It is a source-backed decision aid. Use it to narrow options, then verify every requirement with the official government source.

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 a last-verified date and source confidence. Routes without official source coverage are not used in default recommendations.

Can I compare two countries?

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