What we couldn't confirm
- immigration.gov.ph could not be fetched. Extension details come from a 2013 Long-Stay Visitor Visa Extension notice on the Philippine Embassy Canberra site. Current BI fees and increments were not confirmed, so short-stay confidence is medium.
- Croatia's absence from the EO 408 list comes from one embassy page (Rome). The Brussels page shows the list only as images.
- The Digital Nomad Visa exists in law (EO 86), but I could not confirm from an official DFA source whether it is accepting applications. No official income figure exists. Nationalities qualifying under reciprocity are unpublished. EO 86 text was read on lawphil.net, a non-official mirror of the official text.
