I miss the days when visalist wasn't full of hostile anti-patterns.
Back in 2019, it was easy to recommend to fellow travelers as an accurate source of information. Not so much, now.
I'm sad to see that it funnels users away from official government sites. eg, a US citizen traveling to India is eligible for a cheap e-Visa which generally issues in ~72 hours here:
https://indianvisaonline.gov.in/evisa/tvoa.html https://indianvisaonline.gov.in/evisa/tvoa.html
The big green "APPLY FOR VISA" button on visalist sends traffic to iVisa.com, which is much less useful.

- aent 5y agoWikipedia is probably the best source for ad-free up to date info on visas: You just need to search for "Visa requirements for %country% citizens": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visa_requirements_for_United_States_citizens https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visa_requirements_for_United_S...
