[Tagging] visa offices tags

[Warin]

There is no OSMwiki on what government=migration is about.
If you simply use the common definition of  'migration' then tourist do 
not fit.
*migration* is the movement by people from one place to another with the 
intentions of settling

So a place that assist visas for tourist and business people would not 
'fit'.

So I'd say .. office=government, government=migration does not handle this.
Particularly when the office is a commercial firm, and I think has no 
government funding.
