· You can now rate VisaScout right from the app · Small fixes and polish

- Monthly visa-data updates now download automatically when you open the app - Policy notes now read in Chinese for Chinese-language users - iPad layout: content now sits in a centred column on large screens - Small text and punctuation fixes

New: Visa News — the latest changes to entry rules, all in one place. • Visa News: Thailand's shorter visa-free stays, China's visa-free entry for the UK and Canada, US entry restrictions and more, each with its official source • Changes that are coming up or ending soon are listed separately, so you can plan ahead • News updates automatically, no App Store update needed — and every item is checked against the app's visa data, so the two always agree • Visa data updates: US entry restrictions on 38 nationalities, China's visa-free entry for 12 more countries, US citizens need a consular visa (not an e-visa) for China, and more • Home screen copy fixes

Automatic visa-data updates are working again, plus accuracy and Chinese-language fixes. • Fixed automatic visa-data updates, which had silently stopped working — the app now really does refresh its database every week, and you can check for updates manually in Settings. • Added a Settings screen showing your data version, with manual update and reset. • Fixed health information showing another country's vaccination requirements for Congo and Dominica. • Fixed the Schengen 90/180 calculator missing the earliest day of the rolling window, which could under-report the days you have used. • Fixed your own country appearing as a destination in results. • Chinese: country names are now shown in Chinese, and you can search for countries by typing Chinese. • Chinese: translated the remaining English text in the data-update screen, currency converter, visa-expiry tracker and country pickers. • Dates now follow the language you picked in the app instead of your device's region.

Fresh visa data and a smarter app that keeps itself up to date. • Visa data updated for August 2026 — including Azerbaijan going visa-free for Japan & South Korea, Saudi Arabia's new eTA for UK travellers, Indonesia adding 6 visa-free nationalities, and Ireland's new visa rules for 3 countries • The app now updates its visa database automatically every week — no App Store update needed to stay current • Nearby visa centers is back: find embassies and consulates around you, powered by Google • City search suggestions are faster and more reliable

Major accuracy update. We rebuilt our entire visa database from a maintained, sourced dataset — replacing thousands of unreliable entries — and verified the 10 most-travelled passports against official sources. • Far more accurate visa requirements across all 199 passports • Fixed a critical Ghana error (it needs an e-Visa before travel, not visa-on-arrival) • Added recent changes: Russia-China mutual visa-free, Brazil e-Visa for US/CA/AU • Every result now shows its data date and a one-tap link to verify with official sources • Data now refreshes automatically so it stays current
