Dual citizenship rules are inaccurate for some countries, such as Germany, Netherlands and Denmark
From 3 comments
I believe Germany makes you renounce your old citizenship in most (not all) cases to gain German citizenship, but you have it listed as allowing it? Though I believe they…
CalRobert on HNThis says that Denmark does not have dual citizenship. It seems [1] that may be not true. [1] https://www.thelocal.dk/20141218/denmark-passes-dual-citizenship-bill

Some visa data is wrong (Armenia/Belarus, Australia/Canada US access)
From 2 comments

Add residency years and financial requirements for citizenship
From 2 comments
Could you include years of residency to obtain the second passport in your calculation?
toomuchtodo on HNOne thing that may have been good to add, is the length of time / financial requirements to get citizenship. For example, I'm personally planning to move to Ireland relatively…

Allow comparing more than two passports
From 2 comments
Could you please add options for 3 passports? I actually have US/Canada/Finland and it would be interesting to see, although US v Canada is probably almost identical.
elliottback on HNHave you considered adding the possibility to input multiple passports you already hold? Like if I already have 2, and am trying to decide on a 3rd, it'd be difficult to compare…

Add a searchable country selector

It just tells me "Application error". What's the difference between that and https://www.passportindex.org/comparebyPassport.php?
