Trust protocol
Clear updates, traceable to the source
Official sources
Government portals, ministries, aviation notices and health advisories are checked.
Plain-English change
Each meaningful difference is summarised, tagged and given a clear urgency level.
Date and evidence
Every guide displays when it was checked and links back to its official source.
Rules change without notice. Albalad Travel summarises official sources and links to each one, but it is guidance rather than legal advice — confirm with the embassy, consulate or your airline before you book or fly.
