A quick rule of thumb for European Union member states: no visas are needed for any EU citizen to go any other EU country (as a tourist). It shows that I need a visa to go from Romania to the UK or Sweden (that is false, Romania, the UK and Sweden are all EU members).

Thank you so much! Your site saved us big time! My girlfriend is from one of the visa waiver countries, and she is coming to the U.S. to visit me in June. And guess what? We have never heard of the ESTA requirement until today. I wish online travel ticket agency could be more specific and tell us all the required documents. Does anyone know what would happen if you forgot or didn't know about ESTA?
I don't understand the presentation. Allow the user to choose nationality from a drop down box, then show a world map colored various ways: - green no visa - blue for easy to obtain visas - red for difficult to obtain visas On a side note, it should probably be "United States citizen" and not "US". Also, US -> China is a very common route that requires a visiting / mailing your passport to a Chinese embassy to obtain…
American citizen should be aliased as well. When I see a list of words like Afghan, Albanian, and Armenian, it makes me think the list describes nationalities as adjectives, not country names. If you ask most US citizens which adjective they'd use to identify their nationality, they'll say American.
But then South Korea simply calls itself Korea and ignores the north.

To be honest, I don't think that easy/difficultis that helpful, especially when people usually know where they want to go. Although this text-based answer is not as impressive visually, and could be improved with automatic linking or perhaps using a map to select origin and destination countries, I think it's better to give the information in textual form to avoid misunderstandings.
On the other hand a map would be an interesting way to see what country you can easily go.

All my friends from Canada and South America find this hilarious. But then South Korea simply calls itself Korea and ignores the north.
I'm not so sure
That aside, providing more links to information on each result would be handy. There are too many details involved to really trust the results. For example, you can't travel to the US under the Visa Waiver Program if you've ever been arrested for anything even if no conviction resulted.
1. Make it easier to find a country. Code an autocomplete textbox or something of the sort.
2. Keep the form on the page after searching. If a user wants to make a second search they shouldn't have to press the back button.
3. There are a bunch of links on the bottom that are very difficult to see with the background.
4. The body is perhaps too transparent. The text on your "About" page blends in with the background a little bit.
Overall, it is a good idea and can be perfected with some simple tweaks. Good work!
A few points I would like to mention about the interface: 1. Make it easier to find a country. Code an autocomplete textbox or something of the sort. 2. Keep the form on the page after searching.

jQuery UI Has a cool autocomplete plugin. I've used it recently, figured I'd leave a link for the curious. http://jqueryui.com/autocomplete/
