Editorial Methodology

By Get Visa Online Editorial Team
Editorial board, Get Visa Online

Last updated: 7 May 2026.

This page documents how Get Visa Online sources, drafts, reviews, and updates the content you read.

Sources we use

  • Official embassy and consulate portals for the destination country. These are the canonical source for fees, eligibility, document lists, and biometric requirements.
  • Government immigration portals (e.g. the EU's SCHENGEN, the UK Home Office, the US Department of State, India's Bureau of Immigration) for top-level rules.
  • Multilateral references such as the European Commission visa code, ICAO travel-document standards, and IATA Timatic where relevant.

How a page is built

  1. Structured facts. Visa-required, e-visa availability, processing time, fee, embassy URL — these are stored as structured rows in our database. Every fact has a source link visible on the page.
  2. Drafting. Around those structured facts we use AI tools to draft the natural-language sections (intro, requirements explanation, document checklist, application steps, common mistakes, country context, regional comparison, FAQ). The model is instructed not to contradict the structured facts and to cite the official source where one is provided.
  3. Review. A human editor reviews the draft. When a section reads correctly and we are confident in its accuracy, we mark it as locked in our admin tool. Locked sections are never overwritten by automated regeneration.
  4. Publication. Pages are published in batches subject to a daily limit so that we can keep up with the review workload.

How we keep pages current

  • Pages whose underlying facts (processing time, fee) age past a threshold are automatically queued for refresh.
  • Refresh deletes only the most volatile sections — intro, cost explanation, FAQ, and country context — and regenerates them. Locked sections are skipped.
  • Each page shows a "Last updated" date in the footer reflecting its most recent regeneration or edit.

What we do not claim

We are not the embassy, and we cannot guarantee that what we publish is current at the moment you read it. Always verify critical details — fees, document lists, biometric appointments, entry conditions — with the destination country's embassy or consulate before booking travel or submitting an application. Read the disclaimer for the full statement.
