How we check this page
- Every fact comes from an official page: a government, embassy or consulate site, or the visa centre it names. The link is shown with each fact.
- Each source shows the date we last read it. We do not show a fact without that date.
- Our team reviews each row before it is shown here. Rows waiting for a new check are not shown.
- Voyalo is not an embassy or a visa centre. The embassy or consulate decides every application.
