Source rules
What VisaAble shows, hides, and leaves pending
A route enters the finder only when there is an official or consular page, an application path, and a date checked. Missing fields stay visible instead of being filled from blogs.
A row needs an official source, application route, and last-verified date before it appears in the checker.
Government, immigration, consular, or official application pages outrank blogs and commercial summaries.
Source workflow
From candidate route to public row
Each field is either recorded, marked pending, or shown as a conflict.
Find official route
Start with government, immigration, consular, or official application pages.
Record the fields people compare
Capture income, stay, renewal, tax, fees, insurance, and application route.
Expose uncertainty
Conflicts and missing fields stay visible on country and comparison pages.
Show only checked rows
Only verified rows enter the checker, ranked cards, and comparison defaults.
Row labels
What each label means
Labels say how much of the record is checked; they do not say whether you qualify.
- Full guide
- Official-source record plus guide-style analysis, source conflicts, application notes, or document groups.
- Core verified
- Official source, application route, and last-verified date are present, but one or more critical fields still need deeper verification.
- Draft
- Research queue only. Draft rows can show planned coverage, but they are not used as recommendations.
Data integrity
Freshness and unknown-field policy
VisaAble would rather show a pending field than publish a clean-looking but unsupported answer.
- Last verified
- Every row in the checker must show a date when the official source was checked. Older rows should be rechecked before external promotion.
- Source conflicts
- When official pages disagree, the conflict is shown on the country page instead of forcing one clean number.
- Unknown fields
- Unknown requirements stay null and render as pending. They are not backfilled from blogs or guessed from similar visas.
- Core verified caution
- Core verified records can appear in comparisons, but missing stay, fee, renewal, tax, or insurance data is called out before applying.
Score model
Score dimensions
Scores are scanning aids. Source notes and manual checks matter more than the number.
Higher when official, secondary, or conflict-disclosing sources are available.
Higher when the route, document pack, and processing expectations are clearer.
Higher when there is no recorded tax-residency warning or unresolved tax treatment.
Higher when the program supports a practical stay beyond a short tourist window.
Higher when the program can plausibly connect to long-term residence. Temporary-only visas score low.
Current score formula
Heuristic, not a legal ranking
The fit score is a lightweight product heuristic: source confidence + long-stay value + PR potential + application ease + tax safety, normalized to 100. Application ease is the inverse of internal admin friction; tax safety is the inverse of internal tax risk. Scores are intentionally secondary to the source notes and before-applying checks.
