# Lightweight yes/no visa check

`GET /api/v1/visa/check`

Minimal payload — just the requirement type, allowed stay, and a one-line
description. An `_upgrade_preview` object reports how much richer data
the full `/visa` endpoint would return.

Keyless when called from visa.orizn.app, localhost, or a chrome-extension://
origin. Otherwise requires an API key.

Counts against monthly quota.

## Query parameters

- `passport` string, required — ISO 3166-1 alpha-3 country code.
- `destination` string, required — ISO 3166-1 alpha-3 country code.

## Headers
