#42The problem with this kind of stuff is how do you keep these up to date. Visa policies change all the time and generally don't get a lot of publicity. There is a reason there are specialist visa agencies like CIBT
My plan is to collect as much data as possible and then build crowdsourcing features so that the community will keep the data up to date. I think that the only way to make #TravelTensionFree

#43Good job! Also reminds me of https://www.markuslerner.com/travelscope
Yes, useful but doesnt have official embassy link, visa application link, fees link and document checklist, which i think are super useful for many.

#44Great website. How do you ensure that all visa information is up to date? Do you automatically parse visa policy changes on official government web pages? I made a single spot check (USA -> VNM), and the website seems to conflate e-visa with visa on arrival (they are different for Vietnam).
I also spotted what I believe to be inaccurate about Vietnam. I think passport holders of some countries can visit without a visa for up to 14 days, but if you're travelling for longer, visa is required.

#45This is great...will be using it quite a bit! Thanks for making it

#46Good work! Just something I reacted to as a Swede is that the Åland Islands, the Faroe Islands and Greenland are listed as separate countries. Citizens of these areas hold Finnish or Danish passports respectively.

#47nice, however this information is not too hard to get myself. Add Dual nationality/ multi-nationality, and that would actually save me time. (single nationals can just search for any website, whereas dual nationals would want to search for 2 as they have more options, and if they only have to use your website that saves their time!) :)
I wanted to first validate the idea, now that its proven useful, i will add these features aswell. Thanks for the feedback.

#48Bookmarked. Thanks for this!
Some feedback based on first impression:
The title on the front page says "Find countries to travel to" but then I'm suppose to specify my "home country", which I find just _slightly_ counter-intuitive. I'd suggest to change it up a bit so that I can specify home country and, optionally, a destination I have in mind. Then I'd get results specific for that country only (including, eg, transit visas). I'd also replace "home country" with "citizenship", since I may have a passport of one country, but live in another (which is fairly common in some parts of EU, for example). Many people also have dual citizenship.

Also, out of curiosity, how do u ensure this information stays up to date?

#50Really nice. If an eVisa is available for my selection, consider offering me a link so I can sign up direct... and, as an alternative, possibly wrapper a service around this to submit the application process on my behalf (making clear this is a paid/premium service).
