   Visa list has both government website and visa agency link. Users can choose to use what is convenient for them. Visa list also provides all document requirements so anyone can do it themselves.

    I set a goal on day 1 on what the microstartup should achieve once its launched. Traction is something you define for yourself and your product.

    I would always try to do a quick launch, take no more than 4 weeks and launch it on PH, IH, Reddit, LinkedIn. The long term growth strategies are entirely different thing. But you will get basic validation. You are trying to fail fast.

    One thing which worked for me when i look back is, i spend less than 4 weeks to validate an idea, if it got traction, i worked on it more, if it didn't then i moved on. Validate and fail fast.

    when you begin, if you start testing every small thing, it becomes quite easy when you finish. If you get a big bug, you can always revert.
