πŸ‘‹ Hello hunters! :) A year back, I launched the first version of Visa List on Product Hunt. It's been a crazy adventure since then. I've travelled to 10 countries during this time and along the way Visa List has helped more than 2 Million people from all over the world with their visa needs. Today I launch the second iteration of Visa List, I've worked on this with passion, some doubts πŸ€” and lots of love πŸ’– from friends, family and indie community. I made everything on this site mostly by myself 😏 so I'm super excited. πŸ“– Story Visa List started out as simple list of visa requirements for all countries with detailed visa process and documents for 50 countries so that travellers can go anywhere they want easily. This was a solution to visa issues I faced when I wanted to travel. πŸš€ Now Since then it's grown to 100+ countries and now features visa exemptions, dual passport requirements and many data points like flight prices, weather, distance, economy status and travel advice. I’m adding new countries every day so that you can use Visa List for all your visa requirements. πŸ’° Revenue Visa List makes money mostly from ads and affiliates. Most of the site is freely usable but to use some filters, community chat and visa advice, you need to pay. Users pay monthly, annual or once for a lifetime membership. Revenue ranges from $5,000/m to $6,000/m. See https://visalist.io/open. It became profitable after 2 months of launch. πŸ‘‰ Features βœ… Find your travel freedom with different filters to find your next destination βœ… Find flight prices, weather, exchange rate, distance for all countries using different filters βœ… Quickly check visa requirements for different countries on map βœ… Get detailed visa requirements for any country βœ… Find travel advice for different destinations βœ… Ask visa related questions and get answered βœ… Chat with travellers around the world βœ… Find out which countries you can visit if you have powerful visas like US Visa, Canada Visa etc βœ… Track all the countries you've travelled βœ… Find embassies of your country in different parts of the world βœ… Find visa rankings of different countries βœ… Find passport rankings of different countries βœ… Visa List is an Open MircoStartup πŸ₯… Next Once i complete the tourist visa requirements, i plan to add detailed photo requirements for visas. After that, my plan is to continue adding different visa types starting with transit visas and business visas. My goal is to make travel as easy as possible. πŸ›  Making I coded, designed and built Visa List using VueJS for the frontend, MySQL for backend using Golang. I learned how to do SEO and AdOps the hard way in the last year. I was originally an android developer and learned these just to build Visa List. πŸ’– Thanks I think every person should explore the world around them and would have faced the problem I faced, so could find value in what I have built. So I would love to know what you think of this and would be more than happy to hear your suggestions and feature requests. Let me know what you want to be added or removed or do I need to build something entirely! This is my 3rd successful microstartup and I spent most of my time over the last 2 years making this, thank you for being part of it πŸ™ƒ Love, HaKr!

@1hakr Congrats Hari! Has been following you since you first launched VisaList. Happy to see it growing.
Nick Zieber
I would also love to see you add the type of electrical outlet for each country. Having to Google or guess every time can be surprisingly challenging.
HaKr
@nzieber it's already present in travel advice page
Darshan Gajara
Amazing to see it grow. It has now become my one-stop place to look for visa needs. Kudos on launching the version 2.0 @1hakr πŸ™Œ
HaKr
@weirdowizard thanks a lot! Hope it becomes the same for a lot more people 😁.

Hello! This could be indeed a very useful tool for me! However, I see some things missing, e.g. there is no information on visa waiver programs. For example, as a citizen of Ukraine, I need visas for Ireland or Mexico, it's true. However, there is no information on the website that citizens of Ukraine can travel to Ireland based on the UK visa, or to Mexico thanks to the US visa. Such specifications would make the website better.
HaKr
@kengu_rut the visa exemption information is actually present. You can choice your visa like uk visa or in visa requirements page you can see these aswell. Hope this makes it better 😬
Greg 'X' Willis
@1hakr you finally posted on Product Hunt! Grats on all the success so far. Visa List is an amazing tool.
HaKr
@greg_x_willis thanks mate
Valentine Erokhin
That's a great cover image! πŸ˜ƒ I wonder how large your dataset is at this point. My favorite feature is visa rankings – seeing how your country compares with others is also very entertaining. Looking forward to Visa List 3.0.
HaKr
@valentine_erokhin Thanks mate! Currently i have around 100 to 150k records combined.
Tommy Le
Cool idea, this is definitely an amazing tool for travellers and those who plan to travel abroad for the first time. Do you intend to make a mobile-app version for this product? I believe it would make a fantastic mobile app given the travel-focused nature of your tool.
HaKr
@tommyle1289 thanks. Visa List is already a PWA so you can install it as an app already.
Manny
Congratulations on the 2nd iteration. I loved this so much when it was first launched and wish we could have used it prior to our SEA trip. Really makes everything so simple!
HaKr
@manny_orduna thanks mate! i hope you do a lot trips soon and hopefully visa list will be useful along the way.

@sam_hosseini_ love your feedback, its very insightful. My thoughts on your thoughts #1 thats a good suggestion, i will add it soon #2 only a small fraction come to home page, around 85% land directly to visa listing or visa details. i will park this improvement till home page get good traction itself. #3 The reason for that it is again not a lot of traffic comes to those pages. #4 Again, i will park it for now. Having said these things, it really makes me think about how users are perceiving visa list. I'm happy its very detailed and not bried.

Great product from a great founder, I have following the journey of @1hakr and he keeps astounding me with his innovative solutions to regular real life problems. Definitely a product I would back, cheers mate, keep growing!
StanSV
Looks very nice! You should add passport comparison. Like if a couple with different passports wants to take a trip together. Good luck!
HaKr
@stansv You can do it, add another passport in filters

Do you actually have premium members? How many? I wonder how many people actually signed up for 10 bucks a month. It's a great site, but I can't get my hear around the paid membership.
HaKr
@hatef_kasraei It's very simple, people who need visa actually end up spending around $100, so getting that for $10 is actually very good price. I have around 35 pro users now and it's continuosly growing.
Dilpreet Singh
This is great tool and with a very neat and usable interface. Great Work! The only small thing that puts me off as a designer is the usage of the brown color on the header. But that's just me I guess, lol.
HaKr
@dilpreetxyz thanks Dilpreet. I wanted to use something that was you don't see commonly in websites.

I applied for a hungry visit visa 6 months ago but my visa was denied. Is my biometric data safe? I will apply for a Spain visit visa And (27 question form) I have wrongly stated that I did not provide fingerprint.
