How we make money
No hidden arrangements, no buried disclosures. Here is exactly how VisaGlance is funded — and the lines we won't cross.
Last updated June 2026
Right now: no affiliate links are live
To be completely transparent: as of June 2026, VisaGlance has not connected any affiliate links. The site is currently funded out of pocket. We mention this because many sites in this space carry affiliate relationships from day one without disclosing it — we'd rather tell you there are none yet and update this page when 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 plan to earn commissions through affiliate partnerships with travel services that are genuinely useful for travellers — the kind of things you'd be buying anyway:
- Visa application assistance (services like iVisa that handle the paperwork for countries that require it)
- Travel insurance (particularly travel medical policies for longer trips or visa applications that require proof of coverage)
- eSIMs (local data for travellers, where the product is straightforward and the saving is real)
When those links are live, they will be clearly labelled. The FTC disclosure will appear 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.
