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 any passport, compare two side by side, and browse the passport power ranking.
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 from primary sources
Entry requirements for each passport and destination are drawn from official government immigration sites, the Henley Passport Index, and IATA Timatic data.
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
Where sources disagree, we defer to the destination country's official immigration authority, since that is the rule actually enforced at the border.
Review and date-stamp
Pages carry a 'last verified' date so you can see how current the information is. Visa policies change often, so we re-check periodically.
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.
IATA Timatic
The travel-industry database airlines use to check passenger documentation, covering visa, passport, and health entry requirements worldwide.
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.
