Disclosure

How we earn money

Plain, current account of how findmyvisa makes (and does not make) money. Updated when anything changes.

Last updated

Today (May 2026)

findmyvisa earns nothing today. There are no display ads, no affiliate links, no sponsorships, no premium tier yet. The site is funded by the founder's time and the cost of a domain plus free Vercel/Cloudflare hosting tiers.

Coming soon

Premium tier

We plan to launch a small premium tier:

  • £2.99 one-off — removes the single watermark line on the bundler cover sheet
  • £9.99 monthly — unlimited use of premium features (OCR for scanned documents, batch mode for family applications)

The free tools will remain free forever. Premium is for users who want the polish of an unwatermarked output and the OCR capability for image scans.

IAA-adviser referrals

From the second half of 2026, we will partner with IAA-registered immigration advisers who pay for qualified-lead referrals when readers explicitly request professional help.

How this will work:

  • Specific pages (refusal-related, complex-case-related, advice-needed guidance) will offer a clearly-labelled "Need professional help? Contact a regulated adviser" link.
  • The link will go to a vetted IAA-registered adviser's intake form. We will be paid only if the reader becomes a fee-paying client.
  • The adviser must be registered with the IAA at level 2 or 3, in good standing, with no current sanctions.
  • Their IAA registration number will be displayed alongside the link.
  • We will never pre-select an adviser based on the highest commission; we'll pick advisers we'd recommend our own family to.

What we will not do

  • Display advertising trackers on the site (Google Ads, Facebook Pixel, ad network beacons)
  • Sell our visitor data to anyone for any purpose
  • Promote unregulated immigration consultants, "fixer" services, or anyone offering shortcuts around proper UKVI procedures
  • Take payment for editorial coverage. Our IAA-adviser partnerships will not influence the editorial recommendations to seek professional advice — those exist regardless of partnership economics.

Why this disclosure exists

Two reasons. First, the UK's Advertising Standards Authority requires commercial relationships to be clearly disclosed wherever a reader might mistake content for unbiased opinion. Second, trust matters more than revenue in a YMYL niche — being upfront about where money comes from is part of being a credible source.

See also our editorial policy for the conflict-of-interest framework, and the IAA disclaimer for what we will and won't say about specific cases.

Updates

This page will be updated whenever:

  • The premium tier launches
  • An IAA-adviser referral partnership becomes active
  • Any other revenue source begins
