svnsch··on Show HN: Nomad Visa – Working remotely? Explore your visa options
Thank you! You are right and I adjusted it. I use Vuetify which is a great design framework for Nuxt/Vue.

Should be done! Thanks for your hint.

Thanks Kinrany! Guess reviews are biased caused by affiliates. I will research again and adjust.

Good point goodpoint! Great feedback!

It's an affiliate link where i hope to earn a buck to pay at least for the server and domain cost, otherwise Nomad Visa is free of ads and has no paywall (yet). What do you prefer? :) Is NordVPN bad? I only found great reviews. Please share your opinion.

Thats interesting. I would also find it interesting if they distinguished between e.g. yoga instructor/surf teacher since they are working locally (sounds pretty illegal to me) and remote work like web design. Has anyone further info?

As mentioned in another comment, you can also scroll down on the landingpage and explore other visa types.

Thank you! Sounds good! Well nuxt is a vue famework and yeah, vue is amazing. I use vuetify which makes it easy to "design" the frontend. You should check that out.

Thanks! Oh, that explains some of the comments... i didn't realise that myself. So great feedback! Will add the skiing filter in the future :)

Thats a good idea!

Oh damn, thx. Found this font on a website of a nuxt-package and it's supposed to be a well readable font even for people with limited eyesight. Guess not if it's not shown at all... Suggestion? Use a regular font or adjust browser-specific?

You can go to "digital nomad visas" for e.g. and explore all countries with this kind of visa. Also in "country view" you can see and filter countries for the types of visas you are interested in. The origin country mapping is currently only done with tourist visas.

You can adjust your origin country on the tourist visa page. On mobile just refresh the page.

Thank you! Yes, it has been quite a ride learning it. Backend is Django (i am familiar with Python). Frontend is Nuxt (total noob in JS).

Thanks :) Glad that you like it

True! Tourist visas are crawled daily by wikipedia. Not a big thing. Open data. The other visa types are acquired manually from official resources. If Nomad Visa reaches at least some traction, i will build scripts that notify me when changes occur or built scraping scripts. Not sure if the effort is worth it, yet.

Thanks! I know about the issue and couldn't figure out how to really solve it, yet. Still a beginner in web development. If anyone has a link/info. Let me know.
svnsch··on Show HN: Nomad Visa – Working remotely? Explore your visa options
Yes, great feedback, thx! I really need to adjust the API, calls and cache. As this is the first website i have ever built, i still have a lot to learn.
svnsch··on Show HN: Nomad Visa – Working remotely? Explore your visa options
True, thanks!

I address that topic in the FAQ which is linked on the tourist visa page. Maybe i'll make it more prominent. Would love to hear other thoughts on that.

The note: Disclaimer: This is not legal advice. Generally you'll need special visa or permit to enter a country and work there. That means, that a tourist visa would not be enough. But remote work means that you are not working there, but working from there? The problem is, that these clauses or exceptions are often not yet defined by the law which makes remote work on a tourist visa generally illegal or at least a grey zone. If you are not hired by a local company or interfere with local business, then remote work on a tourist visa seems to be sometimes tolerated (e.g. Thailand - https://e27.co/immigration-officers-raid-co-working-space-pu...). This is not the case with every country, so if you are planning to work remotely on a tourist visa, make sure to research specifically for the target country. The solution: Check out the special digital nomad visas or research work holiday visas. No visa runs needed.

Some tourist visas allow you to stay quite long in a country. Of course it's illegal to work in a foreign country on a tourist visa. I added a note in the bottom of the filter section on remote work with a tourist visa. Maybe make in more prominent? The issue is also mentioned in the FAQs.

It should work fine even though the traffic is high currently
svnsch··on Show HN: Nomad Visa – Working remotely? Explore your visa options
That's a valid point. I need to adjust that. Thanks!

Hey HN!

Over the past few months I've been coding my first side project (Nuxt Frontend, Django Backend). It's been quite a learning experience tumbling down the rabbit hole of web development, as a data scientist. Nomad Visa is a database of tourist visas and visas suitable for digital nomads, remote workers, founders and expats.

More and more countries issue special visas for digital nomads to stay in their country for an extended period of time though they often come with high income requirements or high fees. Therefore, Nomad Visa allows you to compare all types of visas that are eligible for remote workers.

Let me know what you think.
