About Visa Income Checker

Visa Income Checker is an independent project that turns official visa income rules into a simple calculator, for the main applicant and each family member, in your currency. We are not affiliated with any government, consulate, immigration authority, law firm or visa agency.

Rules we follow

• Every amount comes from an official source (law, official gazette, ministry, consulate, immigration authority or statistics office). The link and the date we checked it are printed under the figure.
• No blogs, agencies or other visa sites are used as sources. If we cannot read the official rule, the visa is not published.
• This is information, not immigration or legal advice. Requirements change and consulates can ask for more: always check the official page or ask the consulate.
