Use our data

Visa Atlas is a free, open reference. If you are a migrant planning a move, a researcher studying migration, or a journalist on a deadline, you are welcome to reuse our figures — the salary floors, fees, processing times, settlement timelines, and policy changes — in your own work. You do not need to ask permission. We only ask that you credit us so your readers can trace a figure back to its source.

The content and figures on this site are available under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0) license. That means you are free to share and adapt the material, including commercially, as long as you give appropriate credit and link back.

How to cite Visa Atlas

A simple attribution looks like this:

Visa Atlas, “Use our data,” https://visaatlas.org/use-our-data (accessed 1 June 2026).

When you are citing a specific figure, link to the page it appears on so readers can see the date it was last reviewed. Every figure on this site also links its own primary government source — the issuing authority, such as GOV.UK, USCIS, IRCC, or the relevant ministry. For the underlying fact itself, please cite that original authority too; we are a faithful, dated mirror of it, not the issuer.

Machine-readable surfaces

If you would rather build on our data directly than copy it by hand, these endpoints are kept in sync with the site:

API & data reference — the full developer guide: every endpoint, every field, and a real example response for each.
Visa routes (JSON) — every visa, with its summary, category, and primary source.
Destinations (JSON) — the countries we cover and their official portals.
Policy updates (JSON) — dated, source-linked policy changes.
llms.txt and llms-full.txt — a plain-text index of the whole site.
Policy updates feed (RSS) and changelog feed (RSS) — subscribe to track when figures and rules change.
Sitemap (XML) — every page on the site.
Research reports — original analysis computed from the same figures, each with its method and limitations stated.

Spotted a figure that looks out of date? We would rather hear about it than have it spread — please get in touch and we will check it against the source.
