Terms of use

These terms apply when you use Savvy Wanderer Travels (https://savvywanderertravels.netlify.app). By using the site, you agree to them. If you don’t agree, please don’t use the site. Last updated 17 Oct 2026.

1. Information, not advice

The site gives general information about visas and travel. It isn’t legal or immigration advice, and we aren’t a government body, an embassy or a visa agent. Only the authorities of each country decide who gets a visa and who may enter. Rules change without notice, so always confirm with the official source before you book or apply.

2. How current the information is

Our detailed guides are checked against official sources, and each page shows the date we checked it. For every other passport and country, the entry type comes from an open dataset last updated on 17 Feb 2026. We correct it where newer official notices show a change, and we list those changes, but we haven’t individually checked every one of the nearly 40,000 passport and country combinations. Pages say which kind of information you’re reading.

3. Corrections

We correct mistakes as soon as we can when we find them or you report them, and we log corrections on our how we check page.

4. Links to other websites

We link to official government sites and to booking partners. We don’t control those sites and aren’t responsible for their content, prices or policies. Some booking links pay us a commission: see our disclaimer and affiliate notice.

5. Buying a kit

Visa kits are digital checklists and templates. (Our other paid service, trip planning, is covered in section 6.) Before you pay, the kit page and checkout show what you get, the full price including any tax, how you can pay and how the kit is delivered.

• Delivery: a download link straight after payment, also sent to your email.
• Updates: we update a kit when the official rules change. If you bought it in the last 12 months, email us and we’ll send you the latest version free.
• Payment: through our shop provider’s secure checkout. We never see your card details.
• Record: you get a receipt by email to keep.
• Refunds: kits are delivered instantly, and by buying you ask for that immediate delivery. Because a download can’t be returned, there are no change-of-mind refunds. If a file is faulty or the kit isn’t as described, we fix it or refund you in full: see our refund policy. Nothing here limits your rights under the Consumer Protection Act.
• Who you’re buying from: our business details are listed under who runs this site, as section 43 of that Act requires.

A kit is checklist help, not legal advice. We don’t fill in forms for you, review your documents, act as your immigration adviser or promise an outcome.

6. Our trip planning service

When you ask us to plan a trip, we research and recommend flights, places to stay, transfers and the visa steps for your trip, and send you a written plan with booking links. Before you pay, the trip form shows the fee for your trip, and the checkout or our email shows the price again and when you’ll get your plan.

• Paying straight away. You can pay right after sending the form, or later from our email. If your trip turns out to need more than that fee covers (more nights or places than the form showed), or we can’t take it, we email you within 2 working days, before we start: you can pay the difference or get a full refund.
• Starting and cancelling. By paying, you agree that we can start your plan straight away. You can cancel for a full refund within 24 hours of paying, or at any time before we start. Once we’ve started, the fee isn’t refundable: the 7-day cooling-off period in section 44 of the Electronic Communications and Transactions Act doesn’t apply to a service that began with your consent (section 42(2)). Nothing here limits your rights under the Consumer Protection Act.
• Limited places. We take a limited number of plans at a time. When we’re fully booked, the checkout shows plans as sold out and we keep your request on a waiting list, in the order received. Nothing is charged until you have a place.
• Delivery. Your plan arrives by email within 10 working days of payment.
• You book and pay suppliers yourself. Airlines, hotels and transfer companies sell to you directly, on their own terms. We don’t book for you, take payment for travel or hold your money.
• Prices change. The prices in your plan are what we saw when we wrote it. They can change until you book.
• Visas. We tell you which visa you need and when to apply, and plan your bookings around it. We don’t give advice on your case, check your documents, fill in forms, book appointments, submit applications or act as your immigration adviser. Applying is your own process, and only the authorities decide whether you get a visa. A refused or delayed visa isn’t our responsibility and isn’t a reason for a refund.
• Places to stay. For each stop we suggest three options at the star level you choose, based on what you tell us matters most and on recent guest reviews.
• Price. The fee is per trip, for up to 4 travellers, and depends on the length of the trip and how many places it covers. The form shows it before you send your details. For big trips and groups of more than 4, we confirm the exact fee by email before you pay.
• Changes. One round of changes to your plan is included.
• By email. The service is run by email. We don’t offer calls or consultations.
• Commission. Some booking links in your plan may earn us a commission at no extra cost to you. We recommend what suits your trip, whether or not it pays a commission.
• Suppliers. We choose suppliers with care, but we aren’t responsible for what an airline, hotel or transfer company does or fails to do.
• Refunds: see our refund policy.

9. Our liability

As far as the law allows, we aren’t liable for losses caused by relying on general information on this site, such as a refused visa, a missed flight or a denied boarding. Nothing in these terms limits any right you have under the Consumer Protection Act or other law that can’t be limited.
