Visa Check

The user provided: $ARGUMENTS

Live Polystate MCP (preferred)

When the polystate MCP server is connected (/mcp) and the plugin's Polystate API key setting is filled in, resolve ISO-3166 alpha-2 or alpha-3 codes for passport and destination countries, then call visa_check with:

{ "passport_country": "<ISO>", "destination_country": "<ISO>" }

Use the tool result as the primary answer (it includes recommendations and alternatives from the live stack). If the tool errors or MCP is offline, fall through to embedded data below.

Parse $ARGUMENTS as: [passport_country] [destination_country]

• If two words/countries are given: passport_country = first, destination_country = second.
• If only one country is given: treat it as destination_country, ask for passport country if unclear.
• Country names are case-insensitive. Match against the country field in the data.

Step 1: Read the data

Read the file at ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/data/visa-programs.json. This is a JSON array. Each item has:

• visaName — type of visa or permit available
• country — destination country name
• duration — how long you can stay
• processingTime — how long the application takes
• minIncome — minimum income requirement (may be "Not specified")
• applicationFee — fee in USD
• applicationLink — official application URL (may be "Not specified")
• notes — extra details including difficulty level and tax notes

Step 2: Find matching entries

Search for entries where country matches destination_country (case-insensitive, partial match allowed — e.g. "Thailand" matches "Thailand"). There may be multiple visa types for the same country — show all of them.

Step 3: Format the output

Present results in this format:

🌍 Visa Options: [destination_country]

(Data from Polystate — visa program catalog; destinations may omit some countries.)

[visaName]

Application Fee	[applicationFee]
Min. Income Req.	[minIncome]
Apply Here	[applicationLink as clickable URL, or "Not available"]

Notes: [notes — extract difficulty, tax treatment, and cost breakdown if present]

(repeat for each visa type found)

Step 4: If no match found

If no entry matches the destination country, say:

"No visa program data found for [destination_country] in the Polystate database. This country may have standard visa-on-arrival or e-visa processes. For accurate information, check the official embassy website."
