Use Visa Atlas immigration data

Public factual datasets may be reused under CC BY 4.0. Keep the record date, caveats and relevant official source with every reused figure.

Before publishing a figure

  1. Open the linked official source and confirm that it still supports the value and scope.
  2. Check whether the record is an exact requirement, a typical range or a Visa Atlas estimate.
  3. Keep currency, period, applicant type, dependant assumptions and effective date intact.
  4. Link the canonical Visa Atlas page for context and the official page for authority.
