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.


I use mullvad, which is also behind Mozilla VPN.

NordVPN spends a ton of money on marketing, but their security and customer support are garbage.

For one thing, you can't cancel your subscription easily, which is a dark pattern, which is a big no for a company you want to trust. First link in DDG for "nordvpn reddit cancel": https://www.reddit.com/r/nordvpn/comments/kryt69/can_someone...


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


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.


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 :)


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.


The pattern is completely backward. The visitor should input their current visas, their savings and ability to invest and get a map accordingly.


Good point goodpoint! Great feedback!


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).


I've done django. Can't say I've done nuxt, though I have done vue before. I think your design skills are great! I've always been a backend guy and that's the part I've found really hard.


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 :) 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.


It seems to run a bit oddly on Firefox on Android for me (Samsung S10e) even changing the theme from dark to light took a few seconds.
