Editorial Standards

Globaris Immigration News exists to help South and Southeast Asian workers, applicants, and employers understand real changes to work-visa and immigration rules in the countries we cover. This page explains how we decide what to publish, how we source it, and how we use AI-assisted tools in producing it.

Sourcing

We prioritize primary, official sources: government immigration authorities, labour ministries, official embassy announcements, and the European Commission for EU-wide matters. Where a story is only available through secondary coverage, we prefer established global-mobility and immigration law publications (for example Fragomen, Deloitte Immigration, KPMG Immigration, Reuters/AP immigration coverage) over unverified blogs or aggregators. Every article links to the underlying source we actually used, in the "Original source" link beneath the byline.

What we choose to cover

We only publish stories that materially affect overseas employment for our audience — changes to work permits, employment visas, sponsorship rules, salary thresholds, processing times, or similar. We do not publish tourism news, general politics, citizenship-by-investment schemes, or stories with no practical effect on a worker's visa situation, even when they are otherwise newsworthy. We would rather publish nothing on a given day than stretch an unrelated story to fill space.

Use of AI-assisted tools

Articles on this site are researched and drafted with the help of AI tools operating under a written editorial policy that specifies our audience, source hierarchy, eligibility criteria, and required article structure. The tooling searches for recent developments from the official and trade sources described above, cross-checks facts across sources before drafting, and is instructed to reject a story rather than publish anything it cannot verify against a real source it can cite. Publishing currently runs on an automated schedule without a pre-publication human sign-off step; Globaris Consulting staff monitor published output and correct errors under our Corrections Policy when they occur. We are transparent about this because we'd rather disclose exactly how the desk works than imply a level of manual editorial review that doesn't currently exist.

Fact-checking

Every published article must cite a real, checkable source for its central claims. We do not fabricate quotes, statistics, or dates, and we do not present speculation as confirmed fact. Where a policy change is proposed but not yet in force, we say so explicitly rather than reporting it as settled.

Anonymous and unnamed sources

We do not use unnamed or anonymous sources. Every factual claim in our coverage is attributed to a named, citable public source.

Diversity of perspective

Because our coverage is grounded in official government announcements and primary documents rather than opinion, most articles report a single set of facts rather than competing viewpoints. Where a policy change is genuinely contested — for example where employers and worker advocates disagree about its effect — we aim to reflect that in the article rather than presenting one side as settled consensus.
