As many of you have messaged me or commented that how can you keep track of the changes in future visa status? Well, here is the easy answer. You can bookmark this website. VisaHQ
Just type in your citizenship, where you currently live and where you would want to visit.
Online Application, Visas Requirements
Usually, things do not change for years or decades. And when they do, they are often “very good” or “very bad”. In other words, either your country has made new agreements with another country or a country has severed its ties or changed its visa rules and/or relationships with your country.
Lastly, yes, any valid multiple-entry visa (such as H, B, F, etc) will be qualified.
Note: Always double check the destination country’s immigration website before booking any flights or trips. As many of you have rightly said, things can change and you don’t want to be caught off-guard.
