POST /api/public/route-finder
Route finder
Every recognised destination receives a destinationOutcomes entry, even with no matching visa guide. The GET contract lists all passport and destination options and the conditional questions. Submit finderAnswers to refine a possible exemption or existing right; unknown answers remain unresolved.
Destination guidance for every selected country or territory, with conditional exemption and existing-right checks alongside ranked visa guides, official sources and review dates.
Informational route matching only, not legal advice or an eligibility decision. Confirm the returned route against the linked government source and, where needed, a qualified immigration adviser.
Dates and sources
A page review date applies to its editorial text. A record check date applies only to the stated value and source. Build and deployment dates are not used as evidence that a fact was reviewed. Confirm important requirements on the linked government page before acting.
