This is a planning aid, not a decision. The authoritative answer is the rule text on the program page, with cohort context. When your case spans a rule change (e.g. the May 2026 Portugal amendment), the version that applies is your cohort's — an ambiguous cohort escalates to a professional rather than a green check-mark.
