Rules for sources
- Only the websites listed here. Adding a new source needs the reviewer's approval first.
- We read the detailed official page or legal document itself; news reports, forums, social media and other service providers' websites are never used as sources for figures.
- Vietnamese passport fees are shown in VND; visa fees of other countries are shown in the original currency, as published.
- Where the official source is silent, the guide says so in a “Please verify” box instead of guessing.
