Travel visa requirements for 199 countries, in .csv

About datasets

All 6 datasets contain the same information with different data: two and three-letter codes, and full country names from no particular standard.

In distance matrices (files with matrix in the filename), the first column represents a passport (=from), each remaining column represents a destination (=to).

Files in tidy format (with tidy in filename) have three columns: passport (from), destination (to), and the code. Note that unlike in the matrix, these files do not have instances were passport = destination, and as a result there are no -1 code values.

Codes

Update data with Jupyter notebook

You should be able to run the Jupyter notebook to update datasets whenever you want. The notebook uses BeautifulSoup to fetch PassportIndex source HTML and extract the <script> tag with relevant visa data, then transforms the data using Js2Py for Python processing, and then generates 6 datasets.
