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 hosts. Those hosts were opened on the government site and dated (last checked 16 August 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Visa-rule pages (who may apply, fees, documents, processing times) stay unpublished until a human-verified Source Card replaces a fixture.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.
Community and Local Reality
Corridor Wisdom and Local Reality are rights-cleared observations from movers. 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 not ship as active production truth. If you see a page marked as a fixture, treat the official government host 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.
