Changelog

Beta 1.2

335 openings added from employers' own career pages, through the public job-board APIs their applicant tracking systems provide (Greenhouse, Lever). Most have a real place of work — every source before this was a remote board, and a remote job is the one thing on such a board that is not relocation
All nine employers were verified against the British and Dutch sponsor registers. Companies we are confident relocate people are absent where their registered legal name did not match — an unverified claim about sponsorship is what this board exists not to make
These carry title, employer, place, date and a link, never the posting text. The three job boards publish terms granting redistribution for attribution; an employer's career page has granted us no such thing
Fixed the eligibility filter hiding every on-site job from Thai passport holders. On a remote advert the location field is a rule about the candidate; on a job with an office it is the office's address, and "could I work on this from where I am" is the question moving abroad exists to answer
Analytics moved to Cloudflare Web Analytics, replacing an embedded Plausible Cloud script with no subscription behind it. Cookieless, no consent banner, and no custom events at all
Fixed the horizontal scrollbar in the country panel that appeared while job listings were loading

Beta 1.1

Added a relocation job board, aggregating listings from the sources that permit it — Remotive, Jobicy and Himalayas. Every listing links back to the original posting; we take no applications and collect nothing about you
Employer names are matched against the British (124,954 entries) and Dutch (12,623) visa sponsor registers — the two countries that publish one. The mark says the employer holds a licence, not that this role will sponsor you
Each listing's stated location is read as an eligibility rule, so the board can say whether it names somewhere your passport could work from. A one-way answer: no mark does not mean you cannot apply
A country's own jobs now appear in its panel. Listings open to a whole region — APAC, the EU — come after the local ones and are marked as region-wide
Jobs can be saved to your profile, with a tab of their own. What is stored is a copy of the listing rather than a link to it — postings roll off the sources within weeks
Job counts appear as pins on the map, switchable from a small panel and off by default. Clicking a pin opens the board filtered to exactly what the pin counted
The map can be shown flat as well as as a globe
Fixed the country highlight breaking into pieces, a bug present since the beginning. The boundary data carries one shape per worldview and we were drawing all of them on top of each other
Fixed the language tag reading "พูดEnglishได้" — half a sentence in each language — and widened it from six languages to nineteen
The map is lighter, the job board's first payload drops from 2.7MB to 218KB, and cloud cover holds over the map while it draws rather than letting the picture assemble in front of you

Beta 1.0

Out of Alpha. Every survey question now affects the score, work visa difficulty is sourced from law for all 50 countries, and every score shows its own arithmetic. What is still unfinished is written down plainly on the data sources page
Re-checked work visa difficulty for 45 countries against statute and government portals. It had been our own guess with only two levels in use — 36 countries "moderate", 14 "hard" — and not one had a source
Some countries invert. Germany moves from hard to easy — Blue Cards need no Federal Employment Agency consent and the Chancenkarte lets you arrive to look for work. The United States moves to very hard: its main skilled route is capped by statute and allocated by lottery
PR and citizenship timelines for 29 countries are recounted on one basis — total years from first arrival. Each country had been measured differently. Hungary was recorded as 8 years when the statute counts only time already held as a long-term resident; from arrival it is 3 + 8 = 11
Separated "no permanent residency exists" from "a route exists with no fixed timeline". Singapore and China grant PR routinely with no qualifying period in law, and had been scoring below countries that take ten years. The UAE has no permanent residency at all
Fixed a crash on the results screen for anyone choosing one of the seven new occupations — their names had never been added to the translation files
The Thailand Moment now appears only when you are actually weighing countries against each other, not while reading a story or scrolling through planning

Alpha 2.7

Fixed language scoring. It only asked whether a language you speak is official there, so an English speaker got full marks for India (EF English 55) and nothing for the Netherlands (EF 90) — despite Amsterdam being far easier to live in
English is now scored on the proficiency level of the country you are looking at; other languages still use the official-language test, since no cross-country index exists for them. Speaking the local language went from 3 points to 5
A country's English proficiency no longer also counts inside cultural proximity, where it was credited to everyone — including people who do not speak English, for whom it is worth nothing
The monthly spending question now affects your score. Until now the number cancelled out of the formula entirely — answering ฿20,000 or ฿150,000 gave identical results for every country. We were asking and then discarding the answer
Purchasing power (v4.6) is now half how much better your profession pays there once cost of living is accounted for, and half whether that wage covers your own life transplanted. Spending now moves the score in 51 of 51 countries, and shifts the economic pillar by 8.1 points on average
The top recommendation changes for about 7% of users against v4.5. Every older version is frozen and unchanged — verified by comparing all 60 recorded result sets, none of which moved
Corrected Taiwan's visa record. It said an embassy visa was required; Thai passport holders in fact enter visa-free for 14 days, per Taiwan's Bureau of Consular Affairs announcement of 17 July 2026, valid 1 Aug 2026 to 31 Jul 2027
Added popular destination cards to the planning section — the cities people actually land in, community size, work visa difficulty, years to PR and cost against home — and the map's hover card now uses the same format
A survey button now sits on the map for anyone who dismissed the intro without taking it
Moved the whole icon set to Lucide, including the compass logo and the favicon
Fixed the flash of a fallback font on first load by self-hosting the fonts instead of fetching them from Google at runtime
The intro now turns a slow globe with migration routes from Thailand, drawn in proportion to how many Thai people are actually in each country
Removed scoring version v4.01, which produced results identical to v4 — a menu option that never meant anything
Seven more occupations in the survey: engineering, entertainment, care work, spa and wellness, hospitality, legal, and academia

Alpha 2.6

Every country's Fit Score now opens up to show the working — how much weight each of your priorities carries, how the country scores on it, the base total, every bonus, and the rounding to the final number
No score changed. The engine records the steps of the same calculation rather than running a second one — verified by comparing all before/after results, and by machine-checking that 73,780 breakdowns add up to the score they explain
A score forced to 0 by the LGBTQ+ safety rule now says so outright instead of showing an empty breakdown
Priorities the system adds on your behalf — safety for those moving with children, for instance — now say that they were added and why, instead of moving the score silently
Fixed misleading copy: the bonus curve described as "diminishing" actually nudges small totals up, not down (Qatar: 3.0 → 3.10). It now says what it does
The 0–100 clamp used to cut silently, so a country computing above 100 showed a sum that disagreed with its final score. It now explains itself
Added a curated reading section — articles and research on relocation, economies and cost of living
Thai body copy is now set in Noto Sans Thai Looped, whose looped letterforms read more easily at paragraph length. Headings remain IBM Plex Sans Thai
Unified the section headings across the homepage; each section previously used its own size and alignment

Alpha 2.5

The world map is now the first thing on screen — the intro sits over it as an overlay, so no scrolling is needed to reach the core tool
Replaced the Alpha badge on the homepage with the month of the latest data edition
Fixed the missing link-preview image and now generate it per language — English users previously got a Thai card
Rebuilt the country data on real published sources: peace (GPI 2026), crime (Numbeo 2026), LGBTQ+ rights (Equaldex 2026), English (EF EPI 2025), freedom of expression (Freedom House 2024), corruption (CPI 2025), press freedom (RSF 2026)
Many values had drifted from the sources they cited — Singapore is more peaceful than Denmark and Japan on the actual index, yet scored below both
Corrected citizenship timelines for 22 countries; most were overstated by 1-3 years (Denmark, Norway, Hungary 11 → 8), while Japan and Portugal were understated
Fixed a bug where a country with a PR route but no recorded duration scored the same as having no route at all (Israel, Saudi Arabia, Philippines, Vietnam, China)
Tourist visa access is no longer scored — you cannot relocate on a visitor visa. It remains on country pages as reference
Split the three visa priorities so each measures something distinct — job opportunity, visa ease, permanent route. All three previously read the same underlying fact
Fixed religion matching for 22 countries — Ireland is Catholic and Taiwan is Buddhist, but the engine did not recognise either
Removed the blanket halal warning, which fired in all 46 non-Muslim-majority countries including the UK, France, Germany and Singapore where halal is readily available
The data sources page now states plainly which fields come from published indices and which are our own editorial ratings
The privacy page now lists everything kept in your browser, including the profile, saved countries and relocation plan, which were previously undisclosed

Alpha 2.4

Hid Thai-only data from users of other nationalities — Thai diaspora counts, Thai temples, Thai-passport visa access, and Thai embassy/community links no longer appear unless you hold a Thai passport
Fixed mislabeled data introduced by the English localization — labels like "Diaspora in Country" and "Passport Access" were showing Thai figures to users of other nationalities as if they were their own
Rebalanced scoring for non-Thai users — "visa accessibility" and "Thai community" have no data behind them for other passports, so they are now dropped from the calculation and the remaining priorities re-weighted, instead of flattening every result
Previously a German user ranking those two first saw their top five all tied at 64 — the order was decided by bonuses rather than by what they said mattered
The survey no longer offers priorities that would have no effect for your nationality, and re-adjusts your ranking if you change passport partway through
Rewrote 36 country notes that mixed Thai facts with the user's nationality, e.g. "Australia has a large Thai community (~72,000); Japanese chefs and nurses are on the skilled occupation list"
Relocation checklists now adapt to nationality — "register with the Thai embassy" becomes your own country's embassy
Refreshed the corruption index (CPI 2025) and press freedom index (RSF 2026) across all 51 countries, and started recording the source and year of each refreshed field
The data sources page now shows which edition each field reflects — sources without a badge have not been refreshed, so stale data is visible instead of hidden
Fixed the missing link preview image (Open Graph) that broke when bilingual routing was added — sharing a link on Facebook, X, or LINE now shows the preview card again
Added per-page canonical URLs and hreflang tags so search engines correctly understand the Thai and English version of each page
Fixed own-country population — it was showing the Thai diaspora count instead of the actual population

Alpha 2.3

Fixed career role templates to adapt to nationality — job and business suggestions display according to user's culture

Alpha 2.2

Origin-country-aware system — scoring, survey, and UI adapt to any nationality, no longer limited to Thai citizens
Added "Origin Country" step to the survey — select nationality to personalize visa, cost of living, and job suggestions
Spending slider adapts currency by origin — Thai users see ฿, international users see USD with appropriate ranges
Job and business suggestions adapt to nationality — "Thai Restaurant" becomes "Japanese Restaurant" for Japanese users, etc.
Complete English localization — all pages, components, and country data fully translated with no Thai text leaking in English mode
Bilingualized PR/citizenship notes across 51 countries — converted from Thai-only strings to bilingual {th, en} objects
All static pages bilingualized — methodology, changelog, data sources, privacy, contact/report/share-story forms
Bilingualized ScoringVersionTabs — algorithm comparison tables for all versions now render in English
Hidden Thai country name subtitles in English mode — across map, survey results, profile, relocation plan, and comparison
New bilingual label system — labels.ts uses *ByLocale pattern supporting both t() function and locale string
{{origin}} template system — replaces nationality-dependent text in country data (e.g. restaurants, massage, grocery stores)
Overhauled planning module — split 1,012-line monolith into 7 focused files with 6 new features: personalized visa suggestions, visual vertical timeline, enhanced budget calculator, auto-save checklist, quick facts on visa cards, improved mobile UX
Full i18n wiring with next-intl — locale-based routing, middleware, 745 translation keys across 15 namespaces, migrated 42+ components from hardcoded Thai to useTranslations()
Added language switcher — dropdown beside profile button to switch between ภาษาไทย and English instantly

Alpha 2.1

Scoring v4.3 (new default) — rebalanced from v4.1 using simulation data from 200 profiles
More balanced priority weights [6,3,2,1,1] — rank 1 = 46% (down from 50% in v4.1), reducing single-factor dominance
Hybrid Visa Scoring — 40% tourist visa + 60% immigration factors (work visa, DN visa, PR pathway) to better reflect relocation reality
Fixed salary key bug — student/other professions now correctly look up salary data (added fallback key)
More accurate negative visa reasons — v4.3 shows "very difficult work visa" instead of "embassy visa required" for hard-to-enter countries
Hybrid positive visa reasons — shows both tourist and immigration advantages, e.g. "30-day visa-free + easy work permit"
Impact: Japan/Hong Kong/Singapore slightly lower (easy to visit but hard to relocate), Europe/Czechia/Estonia higher (clearer PR pathways)
Added capital city and population data for all 56 countries
Restructured summary tab with narrative flow — presents data as a story instead of raw statistics
Improved profile button — hidden on hero section, shown as CTA style for new users

Alpha 2.0

Reordered survey questions — easy to deep to most important: career → languages → budget → climate → personal info → religion → politics → priorities
Fixed stuck slider bug — politics + spending sliders now allow pressing 'Next' immediately using default values without requiring interaction
Rationale for reordering — start with easy questions (career, languages), move sensitive ones (politics, religion) later, place 'priorities' last so users make better-informed choices
Restored map auto-focus — clicking 'Explore the World Map' now automatically focuses on the #1 ranked country
Improved map hover cards — score shown as a color-coded badge (matching detail panel style), removed /100 suffix
Added top 3 highlight pills (green) to hover cards — shown only after completing the survey
Added top 3 concern pills (grayscale) to hover cards — consistent with detail panel styling
Preserved existing info in hover cards — cost of living, safety, tourist visa, work visa
Fixed language display across the app — converted language codes (en, ja, zh) to localized names (English, Japanese, Chinese) with fallback
Fixed language display in country detail panel — summary tab and culture tab
Fixed language display in country comparison page — language row in table
Fixed family status display — changed keys from 'couple'/'family_with_kids' to 'partner'/'family_with_children' to match enum

Alpha 1.9

Transparent scoring explanation — ⚙️ Code icon next to Debug button on survey results page

Smooth animations — Framer Motion makes expanding/collapsing the country list fluid

Alpha 1.8

Scoring v4.2 (experimental) — focuses on immigration visas, removes tourist visa bonus (+3)
v4.2 adjusts "visa accessibility" to focus on immigration factors: work visa (50 points), Digital Nomad (+25), PR pathway within 5 years (+15), 3+ long-term visa types (+10)
Simulation of 200 profiles x 50 countries shows fairer results: Germany +26%, Sweden +113%, Korea/Singapore decreased, LGBTQ+ zero-scores reduced from 7.44% to 6.9%
v4.2 available for testing via Debug Switcher (🐛) on survey results page — v4.1 remains the default
Improved profile UI — saved countries list uses the same style as survey results: flag in circle + Thai-English name + 2 reasons + color-coded score
Priorities shown as ranked list (1-5) instead of tag pills — clearer which rank carries more weight
Changed "budget" label to "monthly spending" — more accurately conveys current expenses rather than future plans
Saved country scores recalculated automatically — shows current scores from the latest algorithm instead of scores at time of saving
Remove country button appears on hover — cleaner UI
Fixed bug: duplicate reasons in list — system now automatically deduplicates

Alpha 1.7

Scoring v4.1 (new default) — fixes 6 issues identified from simulation of 100 profiles x 50 countries
Purchasing Power Score — calculates real purchasing power by profession, comparing foreign salary to cost of living against the same ratio in Thailand (tech worker → Switzerland improves, student → expensive countries decrease)
Steeper priority weights — rank 1 now accounts for 50% (up from 42%), spreading scores to avoid clustering in the middle
Specialization Boost — countries excelling in the user's top priority get +2/+4 bonus, reducing Australia/Singapore dominating rank 1 across all profiles
Rebalanced safety formula — reduced crime index weight (25% to 15%), increased peace (35%) + stability (30%), restoring ranks for stable democracies like Denmark and Ireland
Graduated LGBTQ+ filter — replaced hard filter with 3-tier system: dangerous → score 0, caution zone → -20, safe → no penalty (Singapore now appears with a low score instead of disappearing)
Diminishing Bonus Returns — replaced hard cap of 12 with exponential curve approaching 14, maintaining differentiation between high-bonus and medium-bonus countries
New Economic Sub-Score — 40% cost of living + 60% Purchasing Power, making the economic pillar reflect the user's profession
Added v4.1 to Debug Switcher options and Scoring Algorithm comparison page
Added philosophy banner in Hero Section — "This tool is designed to help you explore new possibilities, not to show you what you want to see" — always visible, placed above the CTA button
Hero CTA button text changes based on state — not yet surveyed: "Find your ideal country" | completed: "View your results"
Disabled auto-scroll after completing the survey — users can explore results at their own pace via the Hero button
Auto-save survey results — removed "Save results" button; system now saves profile + Top 3 countries immediately upon survey completion
Changed "Explore the World Map" button icon from arrow to globe 🌐 — clearer meaning (scroll down to map, not navigate to next page)

Alpha 1.6

Scoring v4 (new default) — uses full profile data in calculations: gender, LGBTQ+, religion, political leaning, family status, age
Phantom Priorities — system auto-adds priorities from profile: LGBTQ+ → LGBTQ+ rights, family with children → safety + healthcare, women/non-binary → gender equality
LGBTQ+ Auto-Protect — users who select orientation = LGBTQ+ are automatically protected, filtering out dangerous countries even without selecting LGBTQ+ rights as a priority
Religion bonus (+0 to +4) — country's dominant religion matches user's, e.g. Buddhist → Japan, Muslim → Malaysia
Politics bonus (-2 to +3) — user's political leaning aligns with the country's political environment
Age-visa bonus (+0 to +3) — age 18-34 + Working Holiday available = bonus, age 55+ + retirement visa available = bonus
New safety formula — added Political Stability (World Bank) as 4th factor: 30% peace + 25% crime + 20% disaster risk + 25% stability
Political Sub-Score expanded to 4 factors — democracy + corruption + expression + political stability

Experimental scoring v3 — cultural_proximity split into 4 factors (food 40%, English 25%, WLB 20%, Buddhist community 15%), softer visa_accessibility (embassy 30→40, eVisa 60→65, +DN bonus), Thai community as 5-tier system, total bonus capped at 12, added distance bonus (+5/+3/+1/+0 based on flight hours)
Experimental scoring v3.1 — replaced fixed distance bonus with user-selectable "close to Thailand" priority, so distance only affects users who care about it
Experimental scoring v3.2 — added Crime Index (Numbeo) to safety formula, changed from 70% peace + 30% disaster to 40% peace + 30% crime + 30% disaster, added crime_index to Social Sub-Score
Added new priority: "close to Thailand" — calculated from flight hours from Bangkok
