Field notes
The table records source-confidence scores as well as last-checked dates, making uneven certainty visible rather than presenting every entry as equally settled. Examples include a 24-hour in-country wait before applying in Jamaica and a three-month notice period in Ireland. The page also warns about packages described as “legal weddings” that may not result in a legal marriage.
