Methodology

Data comes from official laws, consulates and tax authorities, cited in each country guide.
Amounts are shown in their original currency, without conversion: no single official exchange-rate source covers every currency.
When a source does not settle a point (for example, family members), we mark it "Check" instead of guessing.
We review the sources monthly and record every change in the changelog below.
This is general guidance, not legal advice: always confirm with the official source before applying.
