This editorial policy explains how MyJet24 researches, sources, fact-checks, and updates the visa, immigration, and travel-documentation content published on this website. We commit to accuracy because our readers make real-world decisions — visa applications, embassy appointments, expensive flights — based on what they read here.
At a Glance — Editorial Standards
Named human authors — every article has Marc Hoffmann or James Mitchell as accountable author
Sourced statements only — every fee, rule, or processing time links to a government / EU / official source
14-day correction commitment — verified errors corrected within 14 days, marked visibly with "Correction:" notice
Twice-yearly review minimum — every published article re-checked against current sources at least every 6 months
AI for editing only — AI assists drafts and translation; never sole author. Human approval before every publish
Editorial independence — no paid editorial. Affiliate links explicitly labelled. Recommendations not driven by commerce
Our Editorial Principles
Accuracy over reach. If we don't know something, we say so. We never publish guesses about visa rules. Where regulations are in flux, we mark it explicitly.
Sourced statements. Every concrete claim about visa fees, processing times, or eligibility links to an official source — government immigration department, embassy website, EU regulation, or major news agency.
Living documents. Visa rules change. We update articles within 14 days of any significant policy change we become aware of, and review every published article at minimum twice per year.
Transparency about commerce. MyJet24 monetises through a free dummy ticket generator (lead magnet) and premium tools (visa support letters, hotel reservations). Articles do not change recommendations based on commercial relationships, and any affiliate links are explicitly labelled.
No AI-generated articles. Our blog content is researched, drafted, and fact-checked by human editors with subject-matter expertise. We use AI tools (such as Anthropic Claude and OpenAI) for editing assistance, draft refinement, and translation review — but every article published has human approval before going live, and the responsible author is named.
Errors are corrected. If we publish something incorrect, we correct it visibly. Material corrections are noted with a "Correction:" notice at the top of the affected article and the date the correction was made.
Sourcing Standards
For every article involving visa rules, fees, or government policy, we verify against at least one of the following authoritative sources:
Official government immigration sites: ministerios de relaciones exteriores, departments of immigration, embassy websites for the destination country.
Supranational bodies: European Commission, EU regulations published in the Official Journal, EU Council decisions, GCC Secretariat.
International conventions: Hague Apostille Convention status, ICAO standards.
Official tourism boards: Visit Saudi (Saudi Ministry of Tourism), national tourism authorities.
Reputable news agencies for current events: Reuters, AP, BBC, AFP, major regional outlets.
Affiliate-driven visa-application sites unless they are the only source for a specific data point and we mark that limitation.
Forum posts, Reddit, Quora, social media as primary sources.
Outdated archives more than 36 months old where current data is available.
Author Standards
Every article on MyJet24 has a named author. Authors are listed at the top of each article, and full author profiles with credentials, expertise areas, and external profiles (LinkedIn, etc.) are linked from each post.
Lead authors
Marc Hoffmann — Senior Visa Consultant at MyJet24, helping over 50,000 travellers since 2021. Specialises in Schengen visa requirements, proof-of-onward-travel regulations, and embassy documentation standards. Author profile.

Conflicts of interest (e.g. employment with embassies, immigration law firms) disclosed at the author-page level.
Fact-Checking Process
Each article goes through three stages before publication:
Research. Author identifies authoritative sources and gathers facts. Where claims about specific fees or processing times are made, the source URL and date accessed are recorded internally.
Draft review. Editor reviews the draft against the sources, flags weakly-supported claims, and verifies accuracy of policy statements against the authoritative source.
Final approval. A senior editor (Marc Hoffmann or James Mitchell) reviews and approves before publication. Any AI-assisted editing is explicitly noted in the editorial trail.
We mark articles with the date last reviewed and the author who approved the current version.
Updates and Corrections
We commit to:
Update articles within 14 days of becoming aware of a significant policy change (e.g. EU Schengen fee adjustment, UK ETA introduction, Saudi tourist eVisa expansion).
Review every published article twice per year minimum, updating the "Last reviewed" date.
Correct factual errors visibly with a "Correction:" notice at the top of the affected article and the date of correction.
Retire articles that have become obsolete (e.g. discontinued visa programmes), with a 301 redirect to a current equivalent where one exists.
Use of AI
MyJet24 uses AI tools as a research and editing aid — not as the sole author of any article. Specifically:
AI may be used for: initial draft outlining, grammar/structure refinement, translation review, fact-checking against known sources, and image generation for blog illustrations.
AI is NOT used for: final authoring without human review, generating quoted statistics without source verification, fabricating credentials or testimonials.
Every article has a human author named and accountable. The author has reviewed and approved the published content.

Independence
MyJet24's editorial decisions are independent of:
Government bodies (we do not represent any government's official position).
Visa agencies (we do not promote any specific visa-application service).
Advertisers — we do not currently accept paid editorial content. If we ever do, sponsored content will be visibly labelled.
