How we check
Verified at source
Someone opened the official page: an embassy, foreign ministry or immigration department. We keep a short verbatim quote, the link and the date read. After 120 days without a re-read, the route drops back to unverified on its own.
Unverified
The route comes from public listings on Wikipedia, which we compare every week. Treat it as a lead. Attribution sits on each route page, and we do not copy the notes.
Residence and third-country visas
Holding UAE residence or a US, UK or Schengen visa can change the answer. On unverified routes we only tell you that a rule exists, and you check the terms. On verified routes we quote it.
What we do not use
IATA Timatic and the passport index sites do not allow republishing, so nothing here comes from them. An airline can check Timatic at the counter, and its answer decides whether you board.
