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 that explains 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We do not publish how-to tutorials, fee guides, country rankings, or predictions about future policy. We report what governments announce and what credentialed experts say it means.
