The Visa Matrix

An open dataset of travel-visa requirements — 39,402 passport-to-destination corridors — that does one thing no visa list we could find does: it cross-checks two independent sources and records every disagreement instead of picking one and sounding sure. Free to use under CC BY-SA 4.0. Snapshot of 20 July 2026.

39,402: CORRIDORS
199: PASSPORTS
198: DESTINATIONS
80.5%: DUAL-CONFIRMED

Why cross-checking matters

Most visa lists copy one aggregator and present its answer as fact. When that source is wrong or stale, every site downstream is wrong the same way. The Visa Matrix pulls two independent sources — Wikipedia's per-country visa tables and the Passport Index dataset — and compares them corridor by corridor. Where they agree, confidence is high. Where they disagree, the corridor is flagged disputed rather than resolved by a coin toss.

31,702 corridors (80.5%) — both sources agree
4,334 — only one source has data
3,366 — the two sources disagree

Where the sources fight

The disagreements are not random. The single most common conflict is whether a trip needs an e-visa or a full consular visa — a real, consequential difference for a traveller, and one 1,550 corridors can't settle between the two sources.
