Editorial Policy
Our commitment to providing accurate, trustworthy visa information that helps travelers make informed decisions.
Our Mission
VisaCalm exists to make visa information accessible and understandable. We believe travelers deserve clear, accurate information to plan their trips with confidence.
We are not affiliated with any government, embassy, or visa processing agency. Our role is to aggregate and present official information in a user-friendly format, while always directing users to official sources for applications and payments.
Editorial Principles
Accuracy First
All visa requirements, fees, and processing times are verified against official government sources before publication.
User-Focused
Content is written to help real travelers make informed decisions, not to manipulate search rankings.
Regular Updates
We monitor policy changes and update content when official sources change. Every page shows its verification date.
Honest Limitations
We clearly state what we cannot guarantee and always recommend verifying with official sources before applying.
How We Create Content
Research
We consult official government immigration websites, embassy publications, and visa application center guidance.
Verification
Facts are cross-referenced across multiple official sources. We never rely on third-party blogs or forums.
Writing
Content is written in clear, accessible language while maintaining accuracy. We avoid marketing speak and unsubstantiated claims.
Review
All content is reviewed for accuracy, clarity, and compliance with our editorial standards before publication.
Publication
Content is published with clear dates, source citations, and appropriate disclaimers.
Maintenance
Published content is monitored for accuracy and updated when official policies change.
Sources We Use
We exclusively use official government and authorized sources for factual information:
- Government immigration portals (gov.uk, travel.state.gov, canada.ca, immi.homeaffairs.gov.au)
- Official embassy websites and consulate publications
- Authorized visa application centers (VFS Global, TLS Contact, BLS International)
- Official fee schedules and government gazettes
We do not use travel forums, unofficial blogs, or social media as sources for visa requirements.
What We Do Not Provide
- Legal advice or immigration consultation
- Guarantees of visa approval or processing times
- Official visa applications or fee collection
- Assessment of individual eligibility
For individual circumstances or complex cases, we recommend consulting with a licensed immigration advisor or the relevant embassy directly.
Updates and Corrections
We monitor official sources regularly and update content when policies change. Each page displays when it was last verified to help you assess currency.
If you find information that appears outdated or incorrect, please report it. We take accuracy seriously and investigate all reports promptly.
