How we prepare our guides
We distinguish official requirements from practical preparation suggestions. Route pages link to the responsible government procedure or legislation. When sources differ, we flag the point for confirmation instead of presenting an uncertain detail as settled.
We do not treat processing estimates as promises, consular examples as universal checklists, or tax-residence thresholds as immigration approvals.
