Length-of-stay rules come from several sources. Some are verified by the OpenVan.camp Editorial team against official sources and show a verification date. The rest are extracted from open sources, most often Wikipedia, and are shown with a source link and the date they were retrieved. Vehicle import rules are shown only once verified. The underlying visa requirement matrix is the passport-index-data dataset (MIT licence), updated 17 February 2026.
