Good job! Nice UI. But little but very important note for people from those countries: Add region called "Central Europe". Czechs, Slovaks, Poles, Hungarians... they hate being marked as eastern europeans ;)

As an American who visited all those countries and conversed with multiple citizens from each of those countries, they do remind you of the "Central Europe" thing.. However, they don't understand that for Americans, "Eastern Europe" isn't geographic; it's geopolitical... essentially, Europe east of the former Berlin Wall There's South America the continent, but for some Spanish people (and possibly other peoples), "S…

Yes all these continents, countries, regions, subregions are very confusing

While this is super cool, as an Argentinian I show up as visa-free for a bunch of Schengen countries, which while strictly not false it's not super useful: We get 3 out of every 6 months stay, and the list would prob be a lot more useful to people who don't know this if these things were somehow displayed; it's after all not a minor caveat when picking travel destinations

Thanks, i didnt know this. I will add this info aswell.

Interesting, but how do you keep this up to date? These requirement change constantly and the only reliable source I'm aware of, Timatic (which is what airlines use), is copyrighted and quite tightly locked down. Wikipedia does crowdsource this info fairly effectively though, sample: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visa_requirements_for_Indian_c...

You do have to be careful and read the fine print. This year, I was turned away at the Belarusian-Lithuanian border (US citizen) because I had read on that Wikipedia page that it was Visa free. In fact, it is only visa free if you arrive via the Minsk airport. Fortunately I was only driving through a tiny part of Belarus on my way to Poland so it was a simple matter of another 30 minutes or so of driving to enter Poland via the Lithuanian border.

This is a handsome site. For some reason I am quite curious about this kind of thing and keep looking up passports I don’t have for countries I won’t visit. I use Wikipedia which is pretty good. What is missing is all the weird non visitor visas. For instance Canadians might work in the US on a TN visa or Australians can work on the UK for a year if they’re under some age (30? 35?) It’s that sort of thing that would…

There’s also that weird US visa that Australians can get courtesy of Bush 43

Where do I specify my second citizenship?

Why does it matter? You can only enter with one passport anyway so just try the two? There's no "combine passports to level up" in the visa world.

It would be easier to check if it let you enter both at first, rather than doing two separate searches.

Nathaniel. I can see what your saying... Paul`s remark is neat, on thursday I got a top of the range Nissan GT-R: after making $6612 this last four weeks and just a little over ten-k last munth. this is certainly the easiest work Ive had. I started this five months/ago and almost straight away began to make more than $71 per-hour. I work through this website, www.Mesalary.com

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Interesting, i havent thought about it yet. But i guess then i have to build a company around this as it wont be a microstartup anymore!

Microstartup? Do you mean just a webpage, which is exclusively not a startup/buisness?

It has ads.
