Direct answer
Read the full website address in the address bar. Each country uses its own government suffix, such as .gov for US federal sites, so confirm the suffix on the official government website. Type the address yourself or open it from Waymora’s Official Portal Directory. A lookalike is not official. Waymora still will not call it a named scam.
The full website address, not the logo. Look for inserted words, hyphens, or extra labels such as “official” or “apply” on the wrong suffix. Prefer a bookmark or a link from Waymora’s directory over an ad result.
Each destination uses its own government naming for its websites. Confirm the naming on the official government website, and confirm the local rule on the agency’s published page.
Scam Shield compares a pasted URL to the Official Portal Directory for a destination you choose. A match means the website is on the list Waymora checked. A miss means it is not on that list.
“Could not verify” is never presented as “safe.” Safety checks stay free.
Waymora will not choose your visa, fill a government form for you, or invent a fee table. Open the official website to apply. Use Waymora to know which website is listed and what to do next in your Journey.
No. Many helpful sites are not government. They are also not official filing websites. Pay fees and submit forms only on the agency’s own website.
No. Encryption proves a private connection. It does not prove the website belongs to the government.
On the Official Portal Directory, for every destination Waymora covers. A website appears only after Waymora opens the government site.
