FAQ
What is a “visa pathway page”?
A published VisaType record on MigrantIQ (isPublished=true), typically at /visas/{country}/{visa}/. It is a planning guide, not an official government form or decision.
How many visa pathway pages are published?
2,399 published pathways across 220 destinations as of this study’s data refresh.
Does a higher count mean that country is “best”?
No. Higher counts mean more editorial pathway pages in our catalog. They do not mean higher approval odds, lower fees, or better outcomes.
