Orizn on Booking.com — visa requirements while you search
On Booking.com you're searching for accommodation, not flights — but the visa question is identical. Orizn pulls the destination from Booking's search bar (ss=Bangkok) and persists the visa pill across results, property pages, and the booking flow.

Search for a city on Booking.com
Type 'Bangkok' or 'Tokyo' in the search box. Booking encodes it as `ss=Bangkok&dest_type=city` — Orizn reads both, plus the `dest_id` numeric ID for unambiguous mapping.

Visa pill appears in dark blue
Matches Booking's signature navy. Click to expand: status, max stay (per single entry), fees, and a link to the official source. Stays visible as you scroll the list.

Property page keeps the context
When you open a specific hotel, the bar stays pinned. The destination doesn't change inside one city, so the visa info is consistent across the entire shopping session.
Detection
URL patterns we detect on Booking.com
Orizn reads the destination from the URL — no API call to Booking.com, no personal data shared. Here are the shapes we recognize.
https://www.booking.com/searchresults.html?ss=Bangkok&dest_type=city&dest_id=-3414440Search uses `ss=` for the human-readable label. `dest_id` is the canonical Booking ID we map to ISO3 internally.
https://www.booking.com/searchresults.{lang}.html?ss={CITY}&dest_type=countryCountry-level browsing uses `dest_type=country`. Visa rules are evaluated at the country layer.
https://www.booking.com/hotel/{country}/{hotel-slug}.htmlHotel detail URLs encode the country in the path. Orizn reads the country segment for visa context.
Power users
Tips for power users of Booking.com
4 non-obvious moves that make the visa bar more useful on Booking.com.
Use map view for visa-aware city hopping
Open the map view on Booking. As you pan and click pins, the bar updates with the visa status for that city's country.
Genius rate doesn't affect the bar
Genius pricing is independent of the visa logic. The bar is identical whether you're a Genius member or not.
Trip planner integration
If you save a hotel to a Trip, the Orizn popup shows all your trips with visa status next to each — handy for multi-city planning.
Long-stay alerts
Booking 30+ nights in a country? The bar warns you if your visa or visa-free allowance is shorter than the stay length.
