About Us

At CountryExplainer, we believe that travel should be simple, stress-free and accessible to everyone.

Navigating visa policies, entry requirements and the practical details of a new country can be confusing. That is why we bring clear, up-to-date information about visas, passports, airports and countries together in one place — for every nationality and every destination.

What we do

• Visa requirements for every passport and destination, checked against official government and embassy sources.
• Passport rankings and comparisons — where you can travel visa-free, with a visa on arrival or an eTA.
• Country profiles with capitals, languages, currencies and live exchange rates, public holidays, neighbours, airports and world rankings.
• Travel tools such as the Passport Photo Maker, which prepares compliant passport and visa photos for 198 countries.

Our mission

Our mission is to help travellers make informed decisions. Travel regulations change frequently, so we continuously update our database with information from official government resources and embassies from around the world, and we always show the date of the last check and link to the source.

Whether you are planning a quick getaway, a long-term stay or a business trip, we want you to have the latest details on entry rules and permitted stays — so you can focus on what truly matters: enjoying your journey and making unforgettable memories.

How we keep information accurate

Everything on CountryExplainer comes from named sources: official government information, recognised open datasets such as the CIA World Factbook, World Bank Open Data and NASA POWER, and the TravelRequirements.info entry-requirements dataset. Visa rules, travel advisories and airport services are refreshed automatically every day. See our data sources and methodology for the full list, licences and update schedules.

Editorial standards

Independent information
