How this site makes money
Some links on this site are affiliate links. If you use one and buy something, we may be paid a commission by the seller. The price you pay is the same either way.
The conflict, stated plainly
Several of the visas covered here require health insurance, and health insurance is the most valuable thing this site could sell you. That is a real conflict of interest, and pretending otherwise would be worse than naming it.
Three rules follow from it:
First, the requirement is described before any product is mentioned, and it is described from the government source. If a visa does not require insurance — as the Thai DTV and the Indonesian E33G do not — the page says so, even though saying so costs us the sale.
Second, a partner link can only render if that partner is marked live in the site’s partner configuration; an unlisted or switched-off partner cannot appear. Being listed is not an endorsement, and we have not independently verified any partner’s commission terms or that referrals are credited, so nothing here claims the site earns a given amount.
Third, we do not claim a policy satisfies a visa requirement unless the insurer confirms it issues the documentation that visa demands. A policy can meet the coverage number and still fail at the immigration desk, which is a distinction most comparison sites skip.

Visa-help enquiries
The visa-help form collects enquiries from people who want a professional to file or check their application. With your consent we may pass an enquiry to an appropriate provider, and we may be paid by that firm for the referral. That payment never changes what a visa page says, and we say on the form before you submit that a referral is what it is.
Our own sites
Links to ESL.Careers, Weightless and OverseasHire are links to other sites we run. They earn no commission from a third party; they are labelled as our own.
What we do not do
We do not take payment to rank a product higher, we do not accept paid guest posts, and we do not sell visa services ourselves. Where an application is genuinely better handled by a lawyer, the page says so.

Not advice
Nothing here is legal, immigration, tax or financial advice. Immigration rules change without notice and individual embassies apply them differently. Confirm anything that affects your plans with the relevant embassy or a qualified professional.
