Company profile
researched Aug 2026Atlys operates a digital visa application platform, delivered through a website and an iOS app, that lets travelers discover, apply for and manage travel visas. The service covers e-visas, sticker visas and visa-on-arrival categories for destinations including Egypt, Indonesia, Türkiye, the United Kingdom, Thailand, Vietnam, the United States, Canada, South Korea, India and numerous African, Caribbean and Central Asian countries, with the site marketing coverage of more than 120 destinations and the app citing 150+ countries. Users select a destination, scan their passport and take a selfie, after which Atlys assembles and submits the application; documents are stored in the user account for reuse on later trips.
The product includes on-time delivery guarantees, real-time application tracking, live video calls with support staff, appointment booking for VFS Global centers covering US, UK and Schengen visas, a visa-approval-probability evaluator and a mock-interview tool for US visas. Higher-touch tiers include Atlys Express (priority processing, concierge, passport pickup and drop, pre-arranged hotel and flight itineraries for markets such as the UAE, US, UK, Schengen and Australia) and an invitation-only Atlys Infinity tier. The company states it refunds the full fee if a visa is not delivered on time.
The company is developing an AI roadmap spanning document verification, eligibility assessment and real-time traveler support, and describes an intent to build data infrastructure around traveler identity and eligibility for cross-border mobility.
