How we check

We take each requirement from the authority responsible for it, such as an immigration department, government ministry or national law, or a national agency whose government status we have verified. Not blogs, not forums, not agency websites, and not another company’s summary of the same rule.

• ·A route cannot be published citing a source outside our approved list. That check runs at publication, not afterwards.
• ·A national study agency counts as official only once we have read, on its own pages, who runs it. Several well-known “Study in …” sites are genuinely state bodies; several others we could not confirm, and those are not used.
• ·Even a confirmed agency is never the source for an entry rule. Who may enter a country comes from the migration authority or the law. An agency’s remit is admission, tuition and student life.
• ·We do not scrape. That keeps the quality high and the coverage narrower than an automated competitor’s.

Records are proposed, reviewed and only then published. Each record is written from the official page and cites it; the citation is checked against the approved source list; and the owner approves the record before it becomes visible to anyone. Nothing is published until it has gone through all of these checks.

When the official source does not provide a clear answer (a migration service that renders nothing, a statute that has been superseded), we record the shortfall and say so on the route, rather than filling the gap with a plausible sentence.

Each route carries the date we last checked it against its official source. On the country pages that date sits beside the option it belongs to. On the landing page, each source shows the most recent check among the routes that cite it, so the date means “on this day we checked a route that uses this source”. It does not mean the whole website was audited that day, and we will not word it as though it did.

Between checks, a government can change a fee, a threshold or a deadline without warning. That is why every route links out to the page it came from: the official source is always the last word, not us.

We compare your answers with the requirements recorded for each route. We remove options when your answers clearly show that you do not meet a requirement. We do not confirm that you qualify, and no page here will tell you that you do: that decision belongs to the authority you apply to.

• ·A requirement we hold, and your answer clearly fails it, rules the route out and says which requirement did it.
• ·If your answer does not give us enough information to check a requirement, we leave the route in and mark it 'Not assessed' rather than assuming you meet it.
• ·A question you skipped never rules anything out. A blank is a blank, not a “no”.
• ·Language is the clearest example. We ask you to rate your own English and to list other languages. A self-rating cannot prove a test score, so a route with a formal test requirement is either ruled out, where you list the language nowhere at all, or marked 'Not assessed'. We will never claim you meet a named test level.

Previous refusals, immigration history, health conditions and criminal record are not asked anywhere on this site. They matter enormously to a real application. Instead of collecting such sensitive information, we simply remind you that it may affect a real application. You have to judge that part yourself, or with a licensed adviser.

If a requirement, fee, threshold or deadline in a report does not match the official source we linked, or you realise you entered something about yourself incorrectly, we correct the record, regenerate the report and resend it free, within 14 days of purchase. If we cannot correct it, we'll refund your payment.

The route, country and source counts shown across the site are read from the live catalogue, not typed into the page. Route and country figures are published as one less than the true count, so a published figure can only ever be lower than the truth. The most recent route check in our records is 11 October 2026.

Right now that is 560+ researched options across 90+ countries in 7 kinds of option.

More are on the way. A country appears here once we have read its official rules, so this number grows steadily rather than overnight.

None of the above makes Diaspire an adviser. We are not licensed to advise on your case, we do not apply for anything on your behalf, and we cannot promise an outcome. Those limits, and the rest of them, are set out on what we cannot do.
