How we verify

1. Official sources only. Every rule comes from a government page: GOV.UK, the US State Department and CBP, the European Commission, the Government of Canada, Australia's Department of Home Affairs and Japan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs. We link that page next to the rule.
2. Dated stamps. Each destination page shows the date we last checked it against its sources. The whole site was last verified on November 9, 2026.
3. Secondary reports are leads, not sources. When news reports a change, we confirm it on the official page or in the official notice before we publish it.
4. Corrections. If we get something wrong we fix it, note the correction on the page and send it in the next Daily Brief. Email corrections@visadeskdaily.com.

What we cover

Short tourist and business visits for six passports (US, UK, Canada, Australia, EU, Japan) to six destinations (Schengen Area, UK, US, Canada, Australia, Japan). We'll add more as we can verify them to the same standard.
