Where the data comes from
WhereToEmigrate.io does not aggregate from third-party visa-listing services. Every programme record originates from one of three source types:
- Government immigration portals — the issuing authority's own published rules.
- Embassy publications — when the issuing country routes specific instructions through embassies abroad rather than a single national portal.
- Gazetted legislation — the official legal instrument when fees, thresholds, or programme parameters are set by statute and the immigration portal lags publication.
