VisaGlance

How we make money

No hidden arrangements, no buried disclosures. Here is exactly how VisaGlance is funded — and the lines we won't cross.

What's live right now

As of July 2026, VisaGlance has four affiliate partners connected: World Nomads (trip travel insurance), SafetyWing (long-stay nomad insurance), Saily (travel eSIMs) and Kiwi.com (flight search). On the relevant destination pages each appears as a clearly-labelled "Sponsored" card with the FTC disclosure right next to it — never buried in a footer. If you request a quote or buy through those links, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. We mention this because many sites in this space carry affiliate relationships from day one without disclosing them — we'd rather tell you exactly what's connected and keep this page updated as that changes.

How we plan to become self-sustaining

VisaGlance is free to use and will stay that way. To keep the research and verification work sustainable, we earn commissions through affiliate partnerships with travel services that are genuinely useful for travellers — the kind of things you'd be buying anyway:

  • Travel insurance (travel medical and trip policies — particularly for longer trips, or destinations that ask for proof of coverage) — live now via World Nomads (per-trip) and SafetyWing (long stays).
  • eSIMs (local data for travellers, where the product is straightforward and the saving is real) — live now via Saily.
  • Flight search (fare comparison across full-service and low-cost carriers, once your visa answer is settled) — live now via Kiwi.com.
  • Visa application assistance (services like iVisa that handle the paperwork for countries that require it) — planned.

Every one of these links is — and will be — clearly labelled. The FTC disclosure appears next to each link, not hidden in a footer.

What commissions will and won't change

  • They will never change what the checker shows. Visa requirements come from our dataset and verification layer, period. No partner can pay to have a result altered or to appear in a result.
  • They will never buy a higher recommendation. If we compare visa assistance services, the ranking reflects what we'd tell a friend — not commission rates.
  • They do keep the research free. Without some revenue, the verification work stops. Done honestly, this keeps our incentives pointed the right way: we earn when we help you make a good decision, not when we mislead you.

What we will never do

  • Sell your data. Our tools run in your browser; what you type stays on your device.
  • Collect personal information to monetise it. We don't run cross-site advertising profiles.
  • Accept payment to alter a visa result or editorial judgment.
