Show HN: Nomad Visa – Working remotely? Explore your visa options

Hey HN!

Over the past few months I've been coding my first side project (Nuxt Frontend, Django Backend). It's been quite a learning experience tumbling down the rabbit hole of web development, as a data scientist. Nomad Visa is a database of tourist visas and visas suitable for digital nomads, remote workers, founders and expats.

More and more countries issue special visas for digital nomads to stay in their country for an extended period of time though they often come with high income requirements or high fees. Therefore, Nomad Visa allows you to compare all types of visas that are eligible for remote workers.

Let me know what you think.

Looks really good! Did you do both the backend and the front end yourself?

I don’t think think this is particularly useful and it looks like a Nomad List copy.

There are plenty of more comprehensive options for visas (I think VisaHQ is one). The website doesn’t even mention that some countries don’t require a visa at all to enter.

I’ve been using Wikipedia’s great “Visa requirements for COUNTRY citizens” which will give you a list of countries you can enter and for how long. For the rest of the information displayed here one can open Wikipedia’s page for the country too.

If the intent is to list countries with nomad visas, then list them. As it’s setup currently you’re just asking me to pick a country I already know.

Would be happy to contibute to something like that for France, though there are a couple of different ways of setting up a freelancer business that impact that number here.

You also need to watch out for "false freelancer" laws in the EU, meant to protect workers who should receive full-time benefits from the company. It makes freelancing a gray area when you have a repeat long-term client.
