Visa Run vs BorderBudget

You're somewhere between your third country and your fifth co-working space, and the last thing on your mind is the date on your entry stamp. Until you have to Google "March 14 plus 30 days" at midnight before a flight. Until you're at immigration doing mental math again and hoping you counted right. Visa Run was built by a nomad who got tired of that feeling. No GPS required. No subscription. No "always allow location" permissions. Just open the app, log your stop, and know exactly what's next on your journey. TRACK EVERY STOP Your active countdown is always visible. Entry date, days remaining, what's coming next. Alerts go out at 30, 14, 7, and 3 days before your visa expires — so the deadline never becomes a surprise. When you get close, the app turns amber. Then red. You won't miss it. YOUR WHOLE JOURNEY IN ONE PLACE Log where you've been, where you are, and where you're going. Timeline view, calendar view, past journeys one tap away. For the first time, your travel actually looks like a plan instead of a series of one-way tickets. PLAN YOUR NEXT MOVE Check visa-free access by passport before you book. Filter by visa-free, VOA, e-Visa, or visa required. Sort by shortest flight. Compare up to three destinations side by side. Need to check as a different nationality? There's a toggle for that — no profile changes needed. THE SCHENGEN QUESTION The 90/180 rolling window, calculated automatically. Run simulations for trips you're planning before you commit. Know your days used, days remaining, your latest safe exit, and your earliest next entry. Europe without the anxiety. THE 183-DAY NUMBER Not every country uses 183 days. Thailand is 180. Malaysia is 182. Cyprus is 60. The tax residency tracker runs quietly in the background with the correct threshold per country. When your accountant eventually asks how many days you spent where, you'll know exactly. SHARE YOUR JOURNEY Generate shareable stop cards with curated country photography or your own photos. A world map view of everywhere you've been. Your nomad life, in one card. EXPORT WHEN IT COUNTS CSV and PDF export for your accountant, your visa application, or your own records. Your entire journey history, formatted and ready. NO SUBSCRIPTION. EVER. Free forever for the core experience — unlimited stops, countdown dashboard, smart alerts, journey timeline, calendar view, and visa planner. Upgrade only if you want more vanity — pay once and it's yours forever. Sprint — $7.99 one-time. Marathon — $11.99 one-time. Pay once, own it for life. Built for nomads, by a nomad.
