Our Research & Editorial Methodology

Our research process begins with primary official sources. For each country-pair, our team consults:

• The destination country's official immigration or border control portal (e.g., the UK Visas & Immigration website for the United Kingdom, USCIS and travel.state.gov for the United States)
• The origin country's foreign ministry travel advisories, which often include reciprocal visa information
• Embassy and consulate websites of the destination country located in the origin country
• Official bilateral agreements and treaty databases (ASEAN, EU, Commonwealth, Mercosur etc.) where applicable
• IATA Travel Information Manual (TIM) data, used by airlines worldwide to verify passenger eligibility

We do not rely on third-party aggregators, travel blogs, or community forums as primary sources. These may be used to identify discrepancies that trigger further investigation from official portals.

Every visa status claim published on eVisa-Card.com is verified using a minimum of three independent official sources before publication. Our verification workflow:

1. Primary source check: Confirm current visa status on the destination country's official immigration portal.
2. Secondary source check: Cross-reference with the origin country's foreign affairs ministry travel page or official reciprocal visa list.
3. Tertiary source check: Validate against the destination country's embassy website in the origin country (where available), or IATA TIM data.
4. Conflict resolution: Where sources conflict, we note the discrepancy and apply the most conservative (most restrictive) interpretation, pending official clarification. Conflicting data is flagged with an editorial note on the page.
5. Fee verification: All visa fees are confirmed from official fee schedules. We note the currency and indicate whether fees are subject to exchange-rate fluctuation.

Corrections or challenges to any published information can be submitted via our editorial contact address. We commit to investigating and responding within 5 business days.
