How to read this page
We only publish a figure or rule when a government, consulate, or tax authority source confirms it. Law-firm summaries, blogs and aggregators are not enough on their own. Where official sources disagree, we say so and show neither figure as fact.
Estimates, not tax or legal advice. Consulates often apply their own figures and exchange rates. Confirm with the consulate before you apply.
Immigration rules change; confirm with the official authority or a licensed immigration lawyer. Not legal advice.
