Affiliate Disclosure Policy
Last Updated: September 9, 2026
1. Overview
GlobalVisaMath is committed to transparency and full disclosure of our business practices. This page explains how we monetize our site and our affiliate relationships.
2. Our Core Principles
- No personal data collection: All our calculators (Schengen 90/180, Canada CRS, etc.) run entirely in your browser. We do not store, log, or transmit your visa, travel history, or personal data to any server.
- Tool accuracy first: Our calculation logic is based on official government regulations (EU Regulation 2016/399, IRCC CRS point allocation, USCIS timelines) and is not influenced by affiliate partnerships.
- Clear monetization: We earn revenue through affiliate commissions on third-party services. This does not change your cost when using these services.
3. Affiliate Partners
GlobalVisaMath may earn affiliate commissions when you purchase through our links to the following services:
iVisa (Visa Application Service)
- What they do: iVisa helps travelers apply for visas online (Schengen, travel visas, etc.) without visiting embassies.
- Commission structure: Per-application affiliate commission (varies by visa type).
- Our relationship: We feature iVisa links on our Schengen calculator and visa photo maker pages. Clicking "Check Visa Requirements" or "Apply for Visa" directs you to iVisa's site.
- Impartiality: Our Schengen calculator results and accuracy are independent of this partnership. We recommend iVisa because it is a recognized, established visa application service.
SafetyWing
- What they do: SafetyWing offers Nomad Insurance Essential (travel medical insurance) and Nomad Insurance Complete (full health and travel insurance). Travelers often use travel medical cover when a visa, including Schengen, asks for minimum medical coverage. Coverage must still match the embassy’s written rules.
- Commission structure: About 10% of premium on completed applications through our ambassador referral links, for the first 364 days after signup.
- Our relationship: We are SafetyWing Ambassadors. We link to Nomad Insurance Essential and Nomad Insurance Complete on the Schengen calculator and selected visa photo maker pages.
- Impartiality: Calculator results are independent of this partnership. We do not claim SafetyWing is embassy-approved or that a quote replaces the insurance letter your consulate requires.
4. No Bias or Exclusive Partnerships
- We do not hide or downplay competitor options.
- Our calculator results (Schengen 90/180 status, CRS points, etc.) are not designed to push you toward any specific service.
- We are open to featuring other visa application services or insurance providers if we find them to be equally legitimate and useful to our audience.
- If you choose not to use our affiliate links, the services remain available directly through their own websites.
5. Photo Maker & Tool Pages
Our visa photo maker pages (US, UK, Schengen, Canada, India, etc.) are free and do not require any purchases. However, we may feature links to related services (visa applications, travel insurance) that help complete your visa journey. Any such links are clearly disclosed.
6. Disclosures on Affiliate Links
All affiliate links include:
rel="noopener sponsored"HTML attribute (signals to search engines and users that the link is monetized).- Clear context indicating what service is being linked to and why.
- A site-wide affiliate disclosure notice.
7. FTC & ASA Compliance
This disclosure is made in compliance with the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising (16 CFR Part 255) and the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) guidelines, which require clear and conspicuous disclosure of material connections between endorsers and advertisers.
8. Changes to This Policy
We may update this disclosure as our business relationships evolve. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last Updated" date.
9. Questions or Concerns?
If you have questions about our affiliate relationships or this policy, please contact us.
Bottom line: GlobalVisaMath's core mission is to provide free, accurate, privacy-first visa and immigration calculators. Our affiliate partnerships help us sustain this work. We are transparent about our monetization, and it does not compromise the accuracy or impartiality of our tools.
