How we keep this current

Secondary first, then primary — always

We use secondary sources — a ministry's English summary, a reputable immigration law firm's explainer, a national tax authority's FAQ — to find a figure and understand the context around it. But we never publish on a secondary source alone. Before a number reaches a tool, we trace it to the primary source that actually governs it: the regulation, the official application page, the statute, or the programme's own legal text. For the Schengen calculator that primary source is the Schengen Borders Code and the European Commission's own short-stay calculator; for a digital-nomad visa it is the issuing country's immigration authority. If a claim can't be tied back to a primary source, it doesn't ship as a hard number — it ships as a clearly labelled estimate, or not at all.

"Last verified" dates you can see

Every tool that depends on changeable data carries a visible last-verified date and a list of the exact sources we checked. That date is not the day the page was created or last styled — it is the day a human re-opened those primary sources and confirmed the figures still match. If you ever see a number on Voymo, you can also see when we last looked at it and where it came from. We would rather show you an older date honestly than imply a freshness we haven't earned.

Our review cadence

Data doesn't get checked "whenever we remember." Each tool sits on a fixed maintenance schedule proportional to how fast its inputs move:

• Fast-moving rules — digital-nomad visa income thresholds, golden-visa minimum investments, tax-regime brackets — are reviewed at least every quarter, and immediately whenever a country announces a change we catch.
• Stable mechanics — the Schengen 90/180 arithmetic, treaty tie-breaker logic, residency-day rules — are re-checked at least twice a year, because the rule itself rarely moves even when surrounding figures do.
• Provider comparisons — insurance, banking and eSIM picks — are revisited when a provider materially changes pricing, coverage or country availability.

When a review happens, we re-pull the primary sources, update the figure if it moved, and stamp a new last-verified date. If nothing changed, we still update the date — because "we looked, and it's still right" is itself useful information.

Named reviewers for the money-and-health tools

Some tools touch decisions that can genuinely cost you money or residency rights — what we call YMYL (Your Money or Your Life) territory. For those, an automated check and a careful editor aren't enough. The tax-residency, golden-visa and Italian forfettario tools each carry a named domain reviewer — a cross-border tax advisor, an immigration-by-investment specialist, an Italian commercialista — who has signed off on the logic and the framing. You'll find that reviewer named on the tool itself, so the responsibility for the method has a face, not just a brand.

What we deliberately don't do

We don't give you false precision. Where the honest answer is a range — a relocation budget, an effective tax estimate — we show it as a range and say so, rather than inventing a confident single figure. And we don't pretend a tool is advice. Voymo's calculators are planning aids built on public rules; they can tell you what a rule says and how it applies to the inputs you gave, but they can't account for your full personal situation the way a qualified professional can.

The not-advice stance

Everything here is general information, kept as current and accurate as we can — not legal, tax, or immigration advice, and not a substitute for a consultation about your specific case. Before you act on a border-sensitive or money-sensitive decision, confirm it with the relevant official source or a qualified professional. That isn't a disclaimer we bolt on at the end; it's the whole reason we date our checks, cite our sources, and name our reviewers in the first place.
