Corrections policy

Our commitment

Immigration rules change often, and errors matter more here than in most subjects. When we learn that something we published is wrong or out of date, we fix it.

What counts as a correction

• A factual error about a programme, requirement, deadline or process.
• A figure attributed to a source that the source does not support.
• A link to an official page that no longer describes the rule we cited.
• A statement that has become inaccurate because the rule changed.

How corrections are handled

1. Report the issue through the contact page, ideally with a link to the official source.
2. We check the claim against the current official page.
3. If the article is wrong, we correct it and update the article's updated date and last-reviewed date.
4. Substantive corrections — ones that change the meaning or the advice a reader would take away — are noted at the foot of the article.

Typographical fixes and clarifications that do not change meaning are made without a note.

Removal

We do not silently delete articles that turn out to be wrong. If a guide covers a programme that no longer exists, we mark it as historical rather than removing it, so links elsewhere on the web do not break.
