Visafar API

The same answers as visafar.com, inside your product: where a passport, plus the visas and residence permits someone holds, lets them travel. Every destination comes with its conditions and the source it was read from.

Where the answers come from

Unlock rules are Visafar's own: each was read at the official source and links it, with the date it was last checked (data status). Passport-alone answers come from an open dataset compiled from passportindex.org, as of February 2026, except where Visafar has checked an official source. Keys can be limited to Visafar's rules and official sources only. The dataset's licence notices are at third-party-notices.txt.

What visitors can do: /api/v1/activities

For each way in (visitor visa, visa-free entry, business visitor and so on), whether tourism, business meetings, conferences, contracts, remote work for an employer abroad, paid work, short study, volunteering and medical treatment are allowed. Every status was read at an official source and carries its link, a short quote and the date it was checked. Where the source is silent the status is not_stated; Visafar doesn't fill it in. Covers 89 destinations (the Schengen area counts as one), with more being added; call it with no dest for the current list. For a few destinations with no usable official source, the response has a secondary object instead of entries: paid work (or volunteering) only, taken from the UK government's travel advice for British travellers and labelled with its publisher and page date. Each entry has a kind (visa_free, visa or any) saying which travellers it applies to.

The same answers are public, one page per destination, at What visitors can do. Unknown destinations return 400 not_covered.

Widget

A small "Where can you go?" box for your site: pick a passport and documents, see the count and the best new destinations. It only loads on the sites listed on your key, and each lookup counts toward its allowance.

• Data included: Visafar's own unlock rules and passport answers confirmed at an official source. The passport-index open dataset is available on request, subject to its licence (see where the answers come from).
• First partners: half price for your first three months, in return for feedback on the API.

Terms of use

• The data is information, not legal or immigration advice. Entry rules change without notice and the border officer decides. Show travellers a line telling them to confirm with the destination's official source.
• Wherever you show Visafar data, credit it as "Visa data by Visafar" with a link to visafar.com.
• Don't resell or republish the data as a dataset. Use it to answer your own users' questions.
• Keep keys secret. Visafar can revoke a key that is abused or leaked, and will tell you first where it can.
• Visafar is provided as is. Its liability to you is limited to what you paid for the API in the three months before a claim.
