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).
You might want some country aliases; since the first items in the drop-down had full country names in them, I expected to have to type "united states", not "US". Works great, otherwise. Seems handy as a standalone service; it'd help even more if integrated into a travel site like Hipmunk.
It's also grammatically incorrect. I am citizen of the United States of America, but an American citizen. The correct demonym in English for a citizen of the United States is American.
Neat! I wonder if you could crowd-source some of the missing data. I tested it with "I'm a US Citizen travelling to Macau." but didn't get any result. The US state department web site http://travel.state.gov/travel/cis_pa_tw/cis/cis_955.html#en... says no visa is required.
You just enter any airport code in the country where you are from, and any airport code in your destination country, then you get the visa information.
To OP: seems like there's quite a bit of information missing, you could try scraping it from the link on that spreadsheet
Serves the same purpose as http://www.visahq.com/ , but it would nice to see a better presentation.
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…
Your suggestion sounds exactly like Visamapper (www.visamapper.com) But DoIneedAVisaFor is a more direct way to answer the question if you already know your Destination.
Earlier quoted context omitted.

Usually it's pretty easy to get a Visa on arrival at most African countries, yet when I tried to add that, I was asked to log in through either Google or Facebook (I like neither). When I saw that it required my permission to use some data on my Google account even when I'm not using the site, I declined and then got a typical Rails error page.
