Hundreds of rules made safer after a full data audit

We audited every rule on the site. 356 rules that showed travel as easier than it is now show the stricter requirement, for example several "visa-free" entries for Egyptian, Jordanian and Moroccan passports. We also fixed fees (US ESTA $40, ETIAS €20, Jordan, Oman, Turkey) and added mandatory arrival registrations (Thailand, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore). These changes are not yet confirmed against official sources and are marked on each page.
