  1. v2.2

    Bring your car and your pet — two new relocation verticals

    • New Vehicles tool: find out whether you owe customs at all (often you don't inside the EU), get customs and registration-tax estimates — exact figures where the formula is fixed, like Poland's akcyza and Spain's IEDMT by CO₂ — decode your VIN, and see every deadline, office and step
    • New Pets tool: an exact, timed import plan for your cat, dog or other animal — rabies vaccination, titer tests, waiting periods, quarantine, documents and lead time — tailored from your country to your destination
    • Car and pet import rules now cover every nomad-visa destination (60+ countries), each linked to its official source, with island quirks flagged (rabies-free Iceland/Mauritius/Fiji, Bali's ban on direct pet entry, and more)
    • Two new AI advisors — for cars and for pets — that answer from your actual plan, in your language; while the AI is working you see live status, and if it's ever unavailable you get a friendly hand-off, never a dead error
    • Your relocation checklist is now tailored to each country's rules — your income figure, the fee, where to apply, the tax-residency threshold — and you can mark any step 'not applicable' so it no longer counts against your progress
    • Your paid relocation report now includes your car's full VIN spec sheet and the exact customs and tax figures
    • More registration-tax calculators now return an exact figure — Georgia's engine-displacement excise joins Poland's akcyza and Spain's CO₂ bands — while formulas that change every year stay as clearly-labelled estimates rather than false precision
    • You can now remove countries from your tracked list; Pets and Vehicles joined the main menu and the footer, and the homepage now shows — live from the data — how many countries we cover for cars and pets
    • The freshness monitor now watches the official vehicle and pet import sources too — when a customs or pet-import page changes, it's flagged for us to re-verify, exactly like visa rules; nothing is auto-published
  2. v2.1

    63 countries verified, a report worth reading, and self-serve tools

    • Every visa in the database is now human-verified against its official source - 63 programmes, with the non-existent ones honestly removed
    • Four new routes added and verified: El Salvador, Kenya (Class N), New Zealand remote-work, and France's Profession Liberale
    • The freshness monitor now watches 46 programmes across their real deep links (up from 12) and only proposes changes you approve
    • The relocation report is a real dossier now - your eligibility verdict, every hand-checked watch-out, your numbers, official links and alternatives - for EUR 9
    • New Premium translator: paste text or upload a PDF, photo or scan and get a clean translation (DeepL + AI)
    • The document checker now reads photos and scans, not just text PDFs
    • Application concierge: upload your whole document package after checkout; we review it, with an optional licensed-expert handoff
    • Order emails now send reliably through Resend, and both you and our team are notified when something is purchased
  3. v2.0

    Partner services, Genki & a monitor that doesn't blink

    • New Nomad Services hub — hand-picked partners for health insurance, eSIM, money transfer and banking, with honest disclosure of how we're paid
    • Genki joins as a health-insurance partner, built for long-stay nomads and accepted by most visa authorities
    • The freshness monitor now follows a country across up to three official domains, so a moved or renamed page no longer looks like a change
    • Pages that block datacenter traffic (Portugal's AIMA among them) are now read through a real browser, so their rules stay tracked
    • Fixed a source mix-up that let Thailand's LTR rules leak into the DTV programme and inflate its income requirement
    • The admin review queue is finally usable on a phone — no more sideways scrolling
    • Weekly digest emails now link to a Change Log that actually opens
  4. v1.9

    Nomad News & the weekly digest

    • Nomad News — visa and relocation stories from around the world, in one feed
    • A weekly digest by email: verified rule changes in the countries you track, plus the week in nomad news
    • Track any country in one tap and get told when its rules actually move
    • Manage every email from your account settings — one switch, no dark patterns
  5. v1.8

    The Android app

    • Nomaticals is now a native Android app — your visa research travels with you
    • Native Google sign-in inside the app, with accounts linked by email
    • Push notifications for rule changes in your tracked countries
    • Every page rebuilt to fit a phone screen properly
  6. v1.7

    Experts, orders & refunds

    • Expert marketplace — vetted immigration lawyers and relocation advisers, by country
    • Book a consultation and pay securely; your order lives in your dashboard
    • Honest reviews from people who actually paid for the service
    • Request a refund from your account — 24-hour refunds are automatic, later requests are reviewed by a human
  7. v1.6

    The public API

    • A public v1 API over the visa database, for anyone building on top of it
    • Issue and revoke your own API keys from the account area
    • Usage analytics so you can see what your key is actually doing
  8. v1.5

    AI document checker & the paperwork

    • AI document checker — upload a bank statement, contract or passport scan and get told what's missing before the consulate does
    • Reads PDF, Word and photographed documents (OCR), so a phone snapshot is enough
    • Official document library — the real forms, per country, in one place
    • Application templates you can fill in and export
    • Download your relocation plan as a PDF you can hand to a lawyer
  9. v1.4

    Your relocation, tracked

    • Relocation dashboard — every step from research to residence permit, with what's done and what's next
    • Readiness check — how close you actually are to qualifying, right now
    • Reminder centre so a deadline never surprises you
    • AI assistant that answers visa questions using our verified data, not guesswork
  10. v1.3

    Plans & billing

    • Three clear tiers, with real Free → Premium feature gating
    • Stripe subscriptions, invoices and a proper billing portal
    • Referrals — bring a friend, both of you get something back
    • Feature flags behind everything, so a feature can ship dark and go live when it's ready
  11. v1.2

    The freshness monitor

    • A monitor that watches official government pages and proposes changes into a review queue
    • Nothing publishes itself — every change is approved by a human before it goes live
    • Public Change Log: every rule change, with the official source quoted next to it
    • Runs on its own server against a local model, so the data never leaves our infrastructure
    • That human gate is the whole meaning of the “Verified” stamp
  12. v1.1

    Compare, qualify, calculate

    • Compare countries side by side — income, duration, tax, cost of living, in one table
    • Eligibility checker: answer a few questions, see which visas you actually qualify for
    • Income calculator that does the currency and threshold maths for you
    • Cost-of-living and rent figures on every country page
  13. v1.0

    First stamp

    • The nomad-visa database — every programme, with income, duration, tax and renewal rules
    • Filter the whole world by your passport, because the rules differ depending on it
    • Brand, passport-inspired design system and hand-made logo
    • Nine languages from day one
    • Live on its own server, behind a firewall we control
