It says "Amsterdam is the mail city of Netherlands" and "Currency: Dutch guilder". I wouldn't trust a website with such low quality text and information, especially not for advice on legal/travel documents.

#23Wife is from Philippines living in Denmark and we had to go to Jordan, Aqaba. Your page will say I need Visa which is true but it’s given on arrival because of the entry point. Wife is another matter, she has to get it in the Jordanian embassy in Berlin as Denmark only has a consulate. The Jordanian webpage information has not been updated for ages and is wrong. The embassy is somewhat helpful but it took me several…

#24Visa policies might be very different from one country to another, updated quiet often etc.
What you believe to be the source of truth on the internet might not be the actual truth. For personal reasons I recently had to know whether or not a Visa was required for a personal short travel to Russia for a Mauritius citizen. Various information can be found on the internet, some says yes, some says no. Your website says a visa is required. However, a visa is not required in this case.
It's very tricky to get the correct information, always up to date, and your website can lead to people having issues entering a country.

Reads like satire! Now I'm genuinely sad the dutch currency isn't the Dutch Guilder...

It's also full of other typos and badly formatted text, which I think is due to the data coming from a quick scrape of a source of dubious quality.

#28I use https://www.viselio.com. They take it a step further and offer a fully automated visa application form.

#29It includes such detail as country of travel origin, country of passport issuance, nationality, duration of stay, country of transit, visa/papers held.
I would go to that source first than any other cobbled together fancy looking website that someone is hawking as a advertisement. And I don't know why someone would bother trying to duplicate Timatic by gathering their own info, which is guaranteed to be out of date. Honestly I don't even know how some small team could keep up with the 100x100 combinations of country/destination paperwork requirements.
It's found through the airline websites themselves, as they have to subscribe as a service, like: https://www.united.com/web/en-us/apps/vendors/default.aspx?i...
Edit: The OP's website is already so slow and low in info content, and Timatic while ugly, works. Why was this even a website worth posting about?

#30You can input your Origin and Destination, Passport info and select one way or round trip/transit etc and see the relevant information, up to date.
