About The Visa Wire

The Visa Wire is the world's visa newswire.

Across 195+ jurisdictions, we report visa policy as it changes — with fact-verified sourcing and named-expert commentary where it adds clarity, explaining what each change means for visa-seekers.

What we cover

Visa policy news as it changes. Country reference pages with current visa requirements for major destinations. Nationality-specific corridors (Indians to the US, Pakistanis to the UK, Filipinos to the UAE, and dozens more). USCIS Visa Bulletin readings every month. Citizenship-by-investment program updates. Travel advisories that affect visa eligibility.

We do not publish how-to tutorials, country rankings, or predictions about future policy. Our Visa Guides set out each visa's rules, processes and fees as the government states them, with the date each source was checked. We report what governments announce and what credentialed experts say it means.
