How do NomadIndex planning tools work?

Local visa dataset

Tools read from the same 62-program, 22-country dataset used across the site — no live API calls.

Estimate markers

Currency conversion, applicant multipliers and setup costs use static planning estimates clearly labelled as such.

Status aware

Programs under source review or marked as estimates are labelled clearly so you know when to confirm figures. See how we verify data.

Some figures are estimates or source-reviewed values. Always confirm requirements with official government sources before applying. See how we verify data
