About & Methodology
How Visa Free Checker is put together — who maintains it, where the data comes from, and exactly what our destination counts do and do not represent.
About
What Visa Free Checker Is
Visa Free Checker is a free, static information site that helps travellers see where their passport can take them without a traditional embassy visa. You can look up one of the 26 passports we track, compare two side by side, and browse a ranking based on our 88tracked destinations.
It is built and maintained by the team behind NomadSync, a travel-compliance tool for people who move between countries. The site is independent reference material: there is no account to create, and the tools run entirely in your browser.

About Our Destination Counts
The numbers on this site reflect the popular destinations we track — a curated subset, not every country in the world.
Because we track a focused set of the most-visited destinations, our counts can be lower than the full headline figures published by indices such as the Henley Passport Index, which assess access across a much larger list of destinations. Your passport may well grant visa-free or visa-on-arrival access to additional countries beyond those we show.
We also separate true visa-free access from visa on arrival, e-Visa, and electronic travel authorisations, rather than bundling them into a single number. That is another reason our strict visa-free counts can look smaller than a headline ‘visa-free’ figure. For the full breakdown, see our guide to visa types.
The process
How We Source and Review the Data
Collect and cross-check sources
We compile entry information from government immigration pages, public visa-requirement references and passport index data. A public reference is a starting point, not an authority at the border.
Separate the entry types
We classify each destination as visa-free, visa on arrival, e-Visa, or visa required — instead of merging them into one headline number — so true visa-free access is visible on its own.
Cross-check for conflicts
We prefer the destination's official immigration rules where sources disagree and flag uncertain classifications for review.
Review and date-stamp
Passport pages show the month their entry data was reviewed. Individual corrections may follow; always check current rules before travel.
Where it comes from
Sources
Official government immigration sites
The authoritative source for any entry rule. Where our data and a destination's official immigration authority disagree, the official source wins.
Henley Passport Index
A widely cited ranking of passports by the number of destinations their holders can access without a prior visa. We use it as a benchmark for relative passport strength.
Public visa-requirement references
These help identify policies to investigate, but they can lag behind an official rule or omit conditions that matter to a traveller.
Accuracy
Accuracy and Corrections
Visa rules change frequently and can vary based on your nationality, the purpose of your trip, and where you enter. We work to keep this site current, but it is general information, not legal or immigration advice. Always confirm the latest requirements with the destination's official immigration authority before you travel.
If an entry conflicts with the destination's official guidance, rely on the official source when planning your trip.
