I have two passports from different countries and am trying to understand where can I travel now. Is there a publicly available map of countries open for visitors by passport country that I can use to see what are my options? I was pretty sure such a thing should exist, but cannot easily find any.
Maybe at least there're maps for specific passports? Mine are Russian and American.
If there's no such thing, I'd be down to build one, let me know if interested to collaborate :)
I understand that you are not EU, but this exists for EU (search for Re-open EU on Google)
I don't think that the problem is building it; it's updating and maintaining it as laws could change day by day. For example a while ago Germany restricted entry from certain provinces of the Netherlands, but not the entire country. So if you had a website you would have had to update that, not for the whole country, but for some regions.
Check this one too (search on Google for skyscanner covid restrictions)
Oh, this looks like what I was looking for: www.skyscanner.com/travel-restrictions
Not sure if this is by passport or country of departure though, likely the latter.
Thanks Amin. Agree this would take effort to maintain. But given good data sources, shouldn't be very hard, just labor intensive.
Province-level details make it more complicated though :(
Try Passport Index
Oh, this is great, thanks! I wish they'd have a map to show countries by your passport.
So far I found a map on Kayak (/travel-restrictions) but it doesn't allow to pick my passport country, I think, so is pretty useless.
I am an English/American currently in Israel, and heading in a week to Georgia/Armenia for two weeks and then want to head to Russia for a week.
As I am only in Israel for another week, would it be possible to apply for the visa in Israel and ask to receive it in Armenia (my last stop before I want to go to Russia)?
Or perhaps there is another better option that I have available?
I can’t speak for Israel but I was in Bangkok once at the Russian consulate and they said 5 days turn around time. I said I needed my passport to fly back to phuket and can’t wait that long and the manager said for 20$ he will do express next day. Probably best to check with the consulate you intend on going, and give it a try in person too.

Almost no English, even with young people. Russian is preferred language even through there is a very strong anti-Russia/anti-Putin sentiment in the city, and rightfully so.

Not sure why nomadlist has "safety" as a con because it's safer than any western europe city and every american city. Cheaper than Thailand, but winter is COLD.

Hanoi has a big foreigner district called 'Tay Ho'. If what you are looking for is somewhat foreigner(English) friendly, the spot is yours. However I preferred to stay in the Japanese area that was full of good sushi. The charm of the city comes from the people. Vietnamese are aggressively kind and way too friendly.

Just remember this, people working at supermarkets make 2 usd/per hour. If you want to live like a local, then you can save a lot of money. If you don't mind a 5-10 minute walk from the BTS, then you can easily get a one bedroom apartment for 300 USD per month, in a high class condo, plus with free golf cart ser

The big downside is it's EXPENSIVE. You need to have a decent salary to live here - otherwise, it would be tough. Hong Kong island is the most expensive, but more affordable places are possible, the further you are willing to travel. It's quite a transient city, so probably pretty easy to make connections!

I stayed for 2 weeks at an airbnb in Bangsar South and I loved it. Met up with Uni friends, made new friends and I really like the relaxed atmosphere, despite being in a huge city. Fast forward, 3 years later, I went by myself to KL for a 3 days stay on a visa run from Chiang Mai. I stayed in a hotel near Bukit Bintang. I actually really didn't like it - I think because I was by myself, in a fairly wild part of the city and got so us

It's a bit of an older vibe than Canggu, and there's certainly a big chunk of yogi's kicking around — but I liked it much better than Canggu and found it less pretentious. Plus, you can drive down there in 45mins whenever you want some beach or party vibes. As others mentioned, there's some great coworking spaces, cheap warungs, some really nice spots to stay cheaply if you go just outside of the mad tourist
