Affiliate disclosure

This site is free to use. Some outbound links may earn us a commission. Where one does, the page tells you at the link itself, not only here.

How we choose who to list

Providers are chosen on merit. A commercial arrangement never changes who is listed, the order they appear in, or what we say about them. That is the rule, and it does not move when an arrangement starts or ends.

Lists of providers are ordered alphabetically, not by what any of them pays. If a provider is worth naming, it is named whether or not there is money behind it, and if it is not, no arrangement will put it there.

How to tell if a link is tracked

You do not have to take this page on trust, and you should not have to remember it. A tracked link says so twice, where you meet it.

Beside the link itself, in plain text: (tracked link). An untracked link carries nothing, because it has nothing to disclose.

At the top of any section containing one, before you have clicked anything: Some links in this section are tracked and may earn us a commission. It does not change which providers we list, the order they appear in, or what we say about them.

Both lines are generated by the same code that decides whether a link is tracked, so a page cannot show one without the other, and neither can appear beside a link that is not tracked.

Where commercial links never appear

Tracked links are allowed on living guides and get-started checklists only. They are not permitted on visa route pages, destination hubs, the comparison table, the eligibility checker, the country index, the homepage, the outbound hubs or these trust pages. That is enforced in code, not by habit: a tracked product on any other surface renders as an ordinary link, in the same position, with the same wording.

Visa information is never affected

Visa facts come from official government sources and are never influenced by a commercial relationship. How we verify sets out where every fact comes from.

Questions

If anything here is unclear, or you think a provider looks favoured, tell us.
