If you simply use the common definition of 'migration' then
tourist do not fit. <br>
<span class="ILfuVd"><b>migration</b> is the movement by people
from one place to another with the intentions of settling<br>
<br>
</span>So a place that assist visas for tourist and business
people would not 'fit'.<br>
<br>
So I'd say .. office=government, government=migration does not
handle this. <br>
Particularly when the office is a commercial firm, and I think has
no government funding. <br>

I don't know if that particular office only does immigration
visas, tourist visas or does any type of visa. <br>
I would prefer a tag suitable for an office that could do
any type of visa, rather than having to find out which
particular thing they do. <br>

Node: Visalink Germany (4362535595) is tagged as
an embassy. <br>
<br>
It is a commercial firm that arranges applications
to the German Embassy/Consulate for a visa, see <br>
<br>

I think tags could be office=visa, country=DE,
website=<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.visa-germany.co.za/" moz-do-not-send="true">https://www.visa-germany.co.za/</a>
<br>
<br>
but not amenity=embassy, diplomatic=visa ... <br>
<br>
There are some 13 with the tag diplomatic=visa
that may fall under this same cloud. <br>
