Frequently asked questions

Vibistic Visa turns published official visa guidance: from government and consular sources: into a checklist: the documents to prepare, the steps to take, the fee and timing rules, and the underlying eligibility criteria, all for one destination, visa category, and passport-country combination at a time. The documents, fees, timing rules, and eligibility criteria each cite the real government source behind them, with the license it's used under: a few things on the page (like the freshness notes and "What changed" history) are Vibistic's own editorial content rather than sourced facts, and are presented as such.

No. Vibistic Visa is an independent information service: it is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated on behalf of any government or immigration authority. Every checklist page carries a top-of-page license banner naming the license and official attribution behind its sourced content, and the documents, fees, timing rules, and eligibility criteria elsewhere on the page each cite the real government source page they came from (document requirements go further, citing the exact section of that source); see Terms of Use for the full wording.

No. Vibistic Visa passes on publicly available official guidance without adding legal interpretation or a recommendation for your specific situation. If you need advice tailored to your circumstances, talk to a qualified immigration lawyer or the relevant consulate or embassy directly.

No, on all three. Where a checklist step requires an action, it links directly to the real official form, booking system, or payment page: Vibistic Visa never files an application, holds an appointment, or moves money on your behalf. Where a fee is published for a route, the fee and timing section shows it; where a minimum-notice period is also published, you can additionally opt into a personal date planner that calculates suggested dates from that rule. Either way, nothing here collects payment or submits anything.

From the official government or consular sources cited on each checklist page. A human runs an ingestion process that fetches the official page or PDF and reviews the diff before it becomes the structured content the app serves: nothing here is AI-generated or guessed, and ingestion never runs automatically or on a schedule.

A daily automated check works through the government sources currently referenced by live checklists, stalest-first, and records whether each one looks like it changed. A run that hits Cloudflare's per-invocation request cap stops early and picks up the rest the next day, so coverage rotates rather than every source being guaranteed a fresh check on every single day. That drives the freshness banner near the top of a checklist page, which is one of three honest states: "Vibistic last checked the official guidance behind this checklist on [date]" once everything's confirmed current, "Vibistic spotted a possible update... and is reviewing it" when the daily check found something different, or "Vibistic couldn't automatically confirm..." when the automated check itself failed (for example, the source page moved). A human still reviews any spotted change before displayed content actually updates: the automated check only ever flags a possible change, it never silently rewrites what you see.

Once a checklist's content has genuinely been edited since it was first published, "What changed" gives a plain-language, dated history of what actually changed: distinguishing an official source update from a Vibistic clarification or classification edit. It renders nothing at all for a checklist that's never changed, rather than a placeholder claiming "nothing has changed": this app never shows more certainty than it has actually confirmed. The same history is echoed per-route in Supported visas's own table.

It automatically un-checks itself and tells you why ("This step changed since you checked it off: please review it again"). Your progress never silently stays checked against outdated content, and it never silently un-checks without explanation either.

See Supported visas for the complete, always-current list: it's generated from the exact same data the app itself serves, so it can't drift out of sync the way a hand-written list on this page would. It also has an interactive checker: pick a destination, visa category, and passport country, and it tells you immediately whether a real, sourced checklist exists for that exact combination.

If it's a real country the app doesn't cover at all, you land on an honest "coming soon" page (never a guess dressed up as a real checklist) with a one-click way to register interest, no account required. If the destination and visa category are already supported but your specific passport country isn't, you'll usually see the same kind of honest message with a "Request this route" option instead of a dead end: unless that exact passport is already covered under a different visa category at the same destination, in which case the page says so explicitly and links you to that category instead, rather than offering a request button for something already supported.

Yes. Explicit "request this route" clicks are what drives the public leaderboard at Most-requested visas: so clicking it (rather than just landing on the "coming soon" page) is what adds your vote to a signal you can actually see and compare against other requests, instead of asking into a void.

Compare shows published facts: fee, the earliest-apply rule, processing time, document-requirement counts, freshness status, and each route's own eligibility-criteria sections: for up to 4 routes side by side, using only what's already sourced for every route you pick. It's a way to read the same facts each route's own checklist already shows, without switching tabs.

No, deliberately. Compare never scores, ranks, or implies which option is "best": it only ever shows sourced facts side by side, in the order you added them. The fee, earliest-apply, and document-requirement-count rows each only appear when every route you're comparing has that fact published; one route missing it drops that whole row rather than showing a placeholder next to a real value, so nothing implies a gap that hasn't actually been verified (the freshness row is the one exception: it's always shown, since "not yet checked" is itself an honest status, not a gap to hide). Routes also aren't always directly comparable: each column carries its own "What this assumes" scope note rather than forcing a false equivalence.

Look for the "Report a problem" link next to the specific step, document requirement, or fee/timing summary you're flagging: it's on every checklist page, right beside the item itself, so your report is tied to the exact content in question rather than a general contact form. No account or personal details are needed. Reports aren't posted publicly and are triaged internally; submitting one doesn't change your own saved checklist progress.

Very little, and nothing that identifies you: a handful of cookies remembering things like your passport country and your progress through a checklist, only if you accept them, plus your consent choice itself so we don't ask again. There's no advertising or analytics tracking on this site at all. See the Privacy Policy for the full list of what each cookie holds; change your choice any time at Cookie settings.

No. Nothing here can guarantee an outcome: approval decisions are made entirely by the relevant government or consular authority, based on your own application and circumstances.

No. Vibistic Visa doesn't represent you, submit anything as or on your behalf, or hold any kind of power of attorney: where a checklist step requires an action, it links you to the real official channel to do it yourself (or through whatever authorized representative you separately choose, entirely outside this site).

No. Where an official source requires a certified translation or notarization, the checklist tells you so and cites that requirement: Vibistic Visa doesn't perform, broker, or verify translation or notarization work itself.

No. Where a fee figure is actually published for a route, the fee and timing section shows the amount and how it's paid, exactly as the government or consular source describes it: for most routes that's a real government payment page the checklist links to, but a few require paying cash in person instead, and a few sources don't publish a fee figure at all. Either way, Vibistic Visa never collects or processes payment itself.
