Editorial Policy

The editorial policy of Immigration World is based on usefulness, transparency and caution. We write about immigration, visas, residence permits, permanent residence, citizenship, repatriation and immigration companies, so we understand that inaccurate information may affect a reader’s legal status, finances, work and family decisions.

Before preparing a material, we define the topic, country or region, status type, application basis and search intent. An article about a visa, residence permit, permanent residence or citizenship must answer different questions, so we do not mix these statuses or transfer one country’s requirements to another.

Materials are prepared and edited by Maria Samoilova, lawyer, author and editor of the project. Articles display the author and publication date. The website does not show the last updated date, but we aim to review materials at least once every 3 months. If rules change earlier or a reader reports a possible inaccuracy, a material may be checked outside the scheduled review.

We use a source hierarchy. Priority sources include official immigration authority websites, consulates, embassies, government portals, published guidance and legal materials. Open registries, reference resources and professional publications may be used as supporting sources. Commercial websites, reviews, forums and private publications are not used as the only basis for legally significant statements.

If sources contradict each other, we avoid categorical conclusions and indicate that the information should be checked with a competent authority or official source. If a legally significant claim cannot be verified, it is removed or rewritten in cautious wording.

We do not publish advertising articles or partner materials. If a potential conflict of interest arises, it should be disclosed or the material should not be published in an editorial format.
