How we check

Every fact in a route record comes from the authority that sets the rule: a government immigration portal, a ministry, a statute, or a national agency whose operator we have read and confirmed. 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. A human writes the record against 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. There is no path from “found on the internet” to “live on the site” that skips those steps.

Where the official page will not give up an answer (a migration service that renders nothing, a statute that has been superseded), we record the shortfall and say so on the route, rather than filling the gap with a plausible sentence.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.

Your answers are run against every route’s recorded requirements. The engine removes what your answers rule out. It does 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, rules the option out and says which requirement did it.
• ·A requirement we hold, but your answer cannot settle it, leaves the option in and marks it unassessed. Unassessed is shown as unassessed, never quietly rounded up to a pass.
• ·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 unassessed. 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, and we would rather flag that in general terms than hold sensitive information we have no business holding. 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. A refund if a correction is not possible.

Every correction goes into the public corrections log, including whether any delivered report was affected. Routine re-checking (a fee rising, a new intake date) is not a correction and does not go in that log. That log is for the times we had it wrong.

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 16 September 2026.

Right now that is 327+ researched options across 80+ countries in 6 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.
