Changes
There is nothing to show here yet. This page exists from the first commit so that the habit is built in rather than added later.
What will be here
Every movement in the dataset, in plain language. When a government changes a rule, the change is clustered into one entry rather than scattered across the cells it touched, and it is published with the date, the source that was read and the analyst who approved it.
- A cell moving from one status to another, and which passports it affected.
- A destination moving from provisional to verified.
- A stay length changing.
- A new edition of the dataset, with what moved since the last one.
Why it exists
A published figure is never quietly rewritten. If a number on this site changes, the reason is on this page with the date it changed. That is the whole point of keeping it.
The dataset in this build was generated on 21 September 2026.
How a change is checked before it appears is set out in the methodology. PL Group owns the dataset outright.
