Hello everyone, I am currently working on a personal project and have built a MVP that gives an instant result for the VISA requirement between the two countries.
Some context before I blabber on with the problem statement: I recently went through a VISA process and the information on the web is scattered and everything points to either official government sites or pdfs for that country's visa regulations, airlines with their long paragraphs about the rules and regulations, when I just wanted a simple one-two line answer. If there are any sites that caters to this problem the UI/UX isn't up to par or in some cases not functional at all or ask way too many questions to get an answer. This tool is entirely free, stores no data and requires no login.

Problem Statement: There is currently no direct and easy way to know the exact visa requirement for the destination country that I am planning to travel to. I have to scrounge through web, recent news or ask people who have been in the same situation.

The website gets the current visa requirements between your home country and your destination country. It is connected to a trusted repository (PassportIndex) that updates data as soon as there is any visa regulation changes in effect and my website scraps the data to ensure data accuracy.

I am looking for some feedback on the MVP and some ideas/features/expansions that can be incorporated within the website that frequent travelers actually would want to use and things that are not locked behind a paywall or logins.

Current Features:

1. Instant result showcasing the VISA requirement between the two countries.
2. Displays related recent news for the countries selected, if there is any.
3. Allows user to redirect to the official related sites/pdfs for detailed VISA information.

Planned future phase 2 feature: My aim is to keep this tool completely community-driven and free of any paywalls. Here is what I am planning currently for the next update:

1. Best Time to Visit: A minimalistic, color-coded 12-month timeline bar grid displaying the peak seasons and low seasons for the destination country along with average weather conditions during the months (as per past years).

Would love some objective advice/suggestions/feedback on the MVP and the planned phase 2 feature as I want to ensure that I am prioritising the right features that will be useful for travelers. Feel free to share any other problems that you face during the travel planning and haven't found a proper solution out there.

Thanks in advance for your time and for checking the site out or sharing your thoughts and feedback. I'll be hanging out in the comments.
