Clean, attractive design.

My initial suggestion would be to at least list it below work visas - it caught me off guard to see it at the top on a website about working :) I really like the site design, by…

Objections
Shows tourist visas, which usually do not allow work.
From 3 comments
Why are tourist visas shown for people who want to work in another country?
noja on HNWhy are tourist visas listed? Isn't it basically always illegal to work on a tourist visa?
Youden on HNWorth noting that it isn't legal to work on a tourist visa in most countries.

Rendering bugs: text invisible and chosenVisa errors.
From 4 comments
Huh, something is blocked on my browser (even using incognito mode with no ad-blocking extensions) that all I see are empty rectangles, the text are all invisible...
bellyfullofbac on HNIn a recent Firefox on Windows there's no text visible. None at all. As if its color was set to 'transparent'. The culprit appears to be "Atkinson-Hyperlegible" in font-family.…

Slow loading and high memory use.
From 3 comments
I love the site! Not sure if this is the feedback you were looking for but I noticed its a bit slow though. I would look at the GET to https://api.visum.so/api/country_data/ It…
bko on HNClean WebApp but Safari alerts that the page uses a lot of memory... Not nice!
sdze on HNVery bad UX. Site is constantly (slowly) reloading on mobile and instead of showing the details always somehow brings you back to start screen. It would benefit greatly by using…

Visa info is wrong for some countries.
From 2 comments
The visa recommendations seem wrong, at least for my country (Latvia). The site claims I need a tourist visa for all EU countries (wrong), and do not need a visa to visit Russia…
Luuseens on HNI get the intention of the website. I also do like your design. I just don't think the information is helpful as it is represented right now as others has also commented already.…

Requests
Select passport or citizenship first and filter visas by it.
From 4 comments
Instead of me choosing the country first, why not ask me about the passport I hold and then show all the countries that have visas that allow me to work remotely? I tried a few…
noisy_boy on HNnice concept, however when I select a country I am shown visas that are not available to me. the first step should be a list of where I hold passports, THEN I can select…
Beached on HNIt should let you put in your country of citizenship so it can filter the visas down before showing you visas you can't get.
notJim on HNIt would be useful to change HOME COUNTRY. All your users are not from the States you know.

Add freelance visa info and Costa Rica nomad visa.
From 2 comments
Regarding Freelance visas, some countries (e.g. Germany [1]) require you to have local clients. So not an option for self-employed/indies. Would be nice to have similar info…
zerr on HNThe first thing I did was check for Costa Rica's new digital nomad visa, which they don't list on this site yet because it just got signed into law a few days ago:…

I think your list of countries is too long. First off, North Korea - really? Is anyone seriously considering being a digital nomad in North Korea? There doesn't seem to be any…

Questions
Where does the data come from and how is it updated?
From 1 comment
App Looks good! Mind to share from where did you collate data. I believe data is the key and it should be regularly updated.
