How we work

Editorial and verification policy

Visa and Trips publishes visa and entry rules only when they can be traced to an official government source. Every rule shows its source and the date the Visa and Trips editorial team last checked it, and we recheck the sources for our main routes every week.

Who writes our content

Pages and guides are written and maintained by the Visa and Trips editorial team. Visa and Trips is a product of MERN Solutions (MERNSOL), founded by Muddassar Raza. We do not publish content under invented names, and we do not publish testimonials or ratings we cannot verify.

What counts as an official source

  • Government immigration and foreign ministry websites, for example GOV.UK, travel.state.gov, canada.ca, the European Commission, mfa.gov.tr, imi.gov.my and u.ae
  • Official visa and ETA portals run by governments, such as evisa.gov.tr, thaievisa.go.th, eta.gov.lk and the KSA Visa platform
  • Embassy and consulate pages and fee schedules
  • Official legal texts, such as EUR-Lex regulations and national gazettes

News reports and other websites can alert us to a change, but we only publish the change once we have found it on an official source.

How we verify

  1. We read the rule on the official source and record the exact page and the date we checked it.
  2. We write the rule in plain language without adding anything the source does not say. Fees are only shown when an official source states them; we never estimate a government fee.
  3. Where a rule has conditions, for example an e-Visa that needs a US, UK or Schengen visa, we state the condition next to the rule.
  4. We recheck the official sources for our most visited routes every week, and update the "checked" date when we do.

What is verified and what comes from a dataset

For routes we have not yet verified individually, the requirement comes from an open passport-index dataset and the page says so. Read the methodology for how the data is built.

Prices and independence

Visa and Trips is a private service and is not affiliated with any government. Where we sell a service, the price is one all-in total that includes the government fee and our service fee. You can always apply yourself on the official site, and our pages link to it. Some links to partners are affiliate links; this never changes the rules we publish.

Corrections

If you see a rule that is out of date, email hello@mernsol.com with the page and the official source. We check every report and correct confirmed errors.
