A big thumbs up. Very useful. As an Indian citizen, I have traveled close to 50 countries (not including business trips) and Indian citizens, apart from a handful of countries, need visa for most of the world. This site comes in handy. If possible, consider adding which countries have exemptions for holders of Permanent Residency (Greencard), or an Australian PR and such.

So excruciatingly painful to travel on the Indian passport. I was rejected from visiting my fiancee in France even though I had a UK, Swiss (was not schengen in 2007) and H1b visa on my passport. Also visa requirements are by the passport you are holding not usually the PR so requirements don't change that much.

Depends, for example if you have a valid Canadian/American visa and Indian passport, you don't need a visa to travel to Mexico.

A lot of countries grant visa free access to holders of e.g: us visit visa or schengen residency, they call it a substitute visa

I'm glad its useful. Definetly part of my plan. US, UK, Canada, Schegen and Australia Visas have exemptions.

Great job. If you can keep it uptodate, this would be the first stop before travel. One thing that it can be improved is showing transit Visa requirements. Multiple stop flights are cheaper , but transit visa information is hard to gather.

Wonderful feedback. I'm just trying to validate the idea. once there is traction, then i will add more visas. I want to make visalist one stop shop for all visa requirement needs

Missing some of the more complex edge cases. Holding permanent residency in Canada allows access to more countries. Cuba for example:

"However, they are eligible to travel to Cuba with a tourist card if they also hold a valid visa or permanent residence permit issued by Canada, the United States or an EU member state."

The site asks for "home country" when it really means citizenship. Not the same thing at all. Also, it's missing a way to input multiple citizenships.

I wanted to start with the basic usecase and validate the idea if it will be useful. Now that i see there are lot of people found it useful, i will try to add these additional usecases aswell. Thanks for the feedback.
