Direct answer
Official facts need a versioned Source Card with a primary URL, a fetch date, and a human verifier. Community notes never become official requirements. Synthetic fixtures used in tests are labeled and are not live legal claims.
Source policy
What counts as an Official Source
An Official Source is an authoritative government or regulator page: an immigration bureau, a foreign ministry e-visa host, an arrival-card host, or another agency page that issues the rule. Waymora records the host, the URL, the check date, and the issuing body. A blog, a Facebook group, or an agent site is not an Official Source.
Directory pages versus visa-rule pages
Directory pages list official government websites. Each one was opened and dated, each on its own day, all on or after 16 Aug 2026. A lookalike that adds a hyphen or a different public suffix is “not the official portal.” That is not a named fraud verdict.
Visa-rule pages (who may apply, fees, documents, processing times) stay unpublished until a human-verified Source Card replaces a fixture. The public site will not show a live legal claim from a synthetic test card.
Notes from other movers
Notes from other movers are rights-cleared observations attached to the step they belong to. They can describe friction (a bank wanted an extra paper, an agent preferred a chat app). They cannot overwrite a Source Card. They cannot create an official warning about a named person or business.
Fixtures
Tests use labeled synthetic cards so retrieval and citation checks can run without inventing a live law. Those cards must never be served as current. If you see a page marked as a fixture, treat the official government website as the authority.
How we check a host
The method for the live directory is on Official Portal Directory: start from a known government suffix, record the host and purpose, publish only directory facts. Related: Methodology, Editorial policy, Corrections.
