Editorial
Why we built Orizn differently
VisaList is one of the best-designed visa lookup websites on the open web. If you have a destination in mind and want a clean reference page, it does that very well.
Orizn focuses on a different verb. Instead of asking you to remember to check a website, the extension watches the flight search you are already running and surfaces the visa badge inline — so you never book a trip you cannot legally take.
The two tools coexist well: keep VisaList for deep, browsable destination research, and let Orizn handle the in-the-moment 'do I need a visa for this exact route?' answer.

Orizn vs
Sherpa
Comprehensive travel-restriction database, sold mainly to airlines and governments — solid data, no inline browser experience.
Orizn vs
iVisa
Commercial visa application broker. Great if you want to pay someone to process a visa for you; less useful as a pre-booking lookup tool.
Orizn vs
Smartraveller (AU)
The Australian government's official travel-advice service. Authoritative for Australian passport holders, not built for general visa lookups.
Orizn vs
Passport Index
The original passport-ranking website. Beautiful maps, great for browsing — but static, with no real-time alerts or inline integration.
Orizn vs
Skyscanner's visa info
The built-in visa hint shown next to some Skyscanner routes. Useful as a nudge, but generic and limited to one site.
