How the eligibility check works
The check asks eight questions, one at a time, and updates a score out of 100 after every answer. Each question maps to a factor that consulates publish as a refusal ground: which passport you hold, what the trip is for, where you are going, when you travel, what funds you can show, any past refusal or overstay, what ties keep you at home and how much you have travelled before. A ninth question appears only when the purpose needs it, for example an admission letter for students or a sponsoring employer for workers.
The score is weighted by destination. A profile that is comfortable for a Thailand e-visa can be marginal for a Schengen sticker visa, because the Schengen file is judged on funds history and ties while the e-visa is judged mainly on passport validity and a clean record. The same answers therefore produce different bands for different destinations, and the result page says which factor moved the number.
Who the check is for
Tourists deciding between two destinations for the same dates, students comparing the funds they must show for the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia and Germany, workers with a job offer who want to know whether the employer's sponsorship route fits their profile, and families preparing a spouse or parent visit all use the same eight questions. Travel agencies and study consultants run it on behalf of clients before quoting, because a Medium or High band at intake is cheaper to fix than a refusal six weeks later. Partners on the Vistolane workspace see the same factors in the case file, so the applicant and the adviser work from one picture.
What does the score mean?
| Band | Score | What it usually means | Next step |
|---|---|---|---|
| Low risk | 70 and above | The profile matches what the destination usually approves. | Apply on the published timeline; keep every document consistent. |
| Medium risk | 45 to 69 | One or two factors are weak, most often funds history or ties. | Fix the listed factor first; one change usually moves the band. |
| High risk | Under 45 | Several factors are weak or there is a past refusal to explain. | Build the file before paying a non-refundable government fee. |
The band is a planning tool, not a prediction. Approval is always the government's decision. What the check does is show the factors an officer is most likely to question, so you fix them before you apply rather than after a refusal letter. If funds are flagged, move money into the account you will present and let it sit for the three to six months most consulates ask for. If ties are flagged, gather an employment letter with approved leave, property documents or evidence of dependants. If history is flagged, locate the previous refusal letter and prepare a short, factual explanation.
When you are ready, every destination page lists the government fee, the Vistolane filing fee, the processing window and the official source for each rule, and every application carries a quoted decision date. Decision by the date we quote, or your Vistolane fee back. We can't guarantee approval; no one can.
