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.

What you see when you search on Booking.com

Bar location: Sticky pill under the Booking.com header, just above the result count.

  1. 1

    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.

  2. 2

    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.

  3. 3

    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=-3414440

Search uses `ss=` for the human-readable label. `dest_id` is the canonical Booking ID we map to ISO3 internally.

Resolves to:🇹🇭 Thailand
https://www.booking.com/searchresults.{lang}.html?ss={CITY}&dest_type=country

Country-level browsing uses `dest_type=country`. Visa rules are evaluated at the country layer.

Resolves to:🇯🇵 Japan
https://www.booking.com/hotel/{country}/{hotel-slug}.html

Hotel detail URLs encode the country in the path. Orizn reads the country segment for visa context.

Resolves to:🇲🇽 Mexico

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.
