Just a cool visual way to see where you can go around the world. It also supports multiple passports.

I never get the passport braggers. "Wow, your passport allows you visa-free entry to Burkina Faso, well done, when are you going there?"

I don't think I've ever heard anyone brag about their passport

Options are freedom.

Nice work. One piece of feedback - the two shades of green are hard to distinguish and mean very different things

thanks, fixed it now

This is not using current data, which is a huge risk to take when it comes to travel.

You can travel visa-free (30 days) to China on a UK passport.

ah, im using some open source dataset which doesnt have this latest info yet. i'll patch it.

fixed now, thanks

I like it but I think I prefer a map over a globe (or at least one that doesn't constantly rotate)

added a toggle to a 2d map now

It would be really nice if you could add options for some common visas. US Green Card holders and holders of Canadian, UK, Schengen and a few other visas get vastly greater coverage than their original passports would by themselves.

Great Tool. I suggest you to add option to select specific type like - only show e-visa, or only show visa on arrival. And also add option to show list of countries.

Thanks, you can now click on the legend item e.g "Visa free" and it shows only those countries.

Useful idea, though I think it would be better as a map not a globe, so that you can see all countries you can travel to at once.

Very fun to play with. As a small issue, the European microstates don't appear on the map.

Yeah, I find it interesting how it has Northern Cyprus and "French Southern and Antarctic Lands" but not Malta.

Useful and can interactive , and can be better as 2d map
