Legal Disclaimer

1. Nature of the Content

The information published on VisaXplain is based on publicly available UK Home Office Immigration Rules, published guidance, Statements of Changes, and Caseworker Instructions. It is intended to help individuals understand these rules in a more accessible format.

This content is general in nature and does not take into account your individual circumstances. It should not be treated as a substitute for specific advice from a solicitor, barrister, or adviser regulated by the Immigration Advice Authority or the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA).

2. No Adviser–Client Relationship

Use of this website — including creating an account, using a calculator, generating a report, or reading any content — does not create a solicitor–client, adviser–client, or any other professional relationship between you and VisaXplain. We do not act for you, represent you, or owe you any duty of care in connection with the information provided.

3. Accuracy and Currency of Information

UK immigration rules are subject to frequent change through Statements of Changes to the Immigration Rules laid before Parliament, policy guidance updates, and case law. While we endeavour to reflect the current rules as of the date shown on each page, we cannot guarantee that every piece of information is up to date at the moment you read it.

Before making any application or decision, check the current rules on the official GOV.UK Visas & Immigration pages and consider taking advice from a regulated adviser.

4. Calculator and Report Outputs

Results produced by our calculators and automated reports are generated by applying published rules to the data you enter. They are indicative only and are not a prediction or guarantee of any Home Office decision. Outcomes depend on the accuracy and completeness of the information you provide, and on rules that may have changed since the calculation was performed.

Final determinations of lawful continuous residence, qualifying periods, and discretionary disregards rest exclusively with the UK Home Office.

5. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, VisaXplain excludes all liability for any loss or damage — whether direct, indirect, consequential, or otherwise — arising from or in connection with your use of, or reliance on, any content, tool, or report on this website.

Nothing in this disclaimer excludes or limits our liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud, or any other liability that cannot be excluded or limited under English law.

6. Governing Law
