What VisaExplain is not
VisaExplain is not a law firm and is not regulated to give immigration advice. It applies published rules to the information you enter. It is not a decision on your case, it does not know facts you have not given it, and it cannot tell you what to do.
How we produce our answers →Where the rules come from
Every route page cites the GOV.UK page or Immigration Rules Appendix it comes from, and every calculation records which dated policy version produced it.
