What iVisa does

iVisa, operating through its legal entity Document Advisor, Inc., is a travel-documentation platform that simplifies the application process for electronic visas (eVisas), Electronic Travel Authorizations (ETAs), visa-on-arrival preparation, arrival cards, health declarations, invitation letters, and traditional paper/courier visas. The platform serves individual travelers across 200+ passport nationalities applying to destinations including the United States, United Kingdom, Brazil, India, Indonesia, Kenya, Malaysia, New Zealand, Singapore, Thailand, and the Philippines, with operational presence in more than 15 countries and millions of applications processed annually. Technology is delivered through a web platform and native mobile applications (1M+ Google Play downloads, 4.8 iOS rating across 11K ratings), featuring OCR passport scanning, an AI assistant ('Vee'), AI-assisted application validation combined with human expert review, real-time status tracking, and a built-in document wallet. Government-issued credentials include Level 1 Immigration Consultant (UK IAA), Certified Immigration Adviser (New Zealand IAA), Registered Migration Agent (Australia OMARA), and Washington State Seller of Travel endorsement.

iVisa's business model is predominantly transactional: service fees are charged per application with tiered processing speeds (Standard, Rush, Super-Rush) and government fees passed through separately. Recurring revenue is introduced via the iVisa Plus annual subscription, which bundles unlimited Standard-Speed processing for personal eVisas, health documents, and embassy registrations, with add-on monetization from Denial Protection, Premium Concierge, Passport Photos, Passport Renewal, and Guided Visa support. Distribution combines direct-to-consumer self-serve (web and mobile), a 20%-commission affiliate program with 365-day cookie attribution, and co-branded placements with airlines (Iberia, LATAM), airport operators (Aena), travel insurance (Intermundial), immigration services (Boundless Immigration), and industry associations (IATA). The company is bootstrapped, privately held, and founder-led by co-founders David Perez and Sergio Merino, with no disclosed external funding to date.

Direct peers

• CIBT (CIBTvisas): CIBT is the largest dedicated visa and travel document services company globally, offering visa processing, eVisa, and immigration services to corporate and individual travelers — directly comparable to iVisa's core offering.
• VisaHQ: VisaHQ operates a global online visa processing and travel document platform serving both consumers and corporations across 190+ nationalities — the closest directly comparable service to iVisa.
• TraVisa: TraVisa is a long-standing visa processing service offering both individual tourist visa processing and corporate travel document management — directly competing with iVisa on the transactional visa service layer.
• Travel Visa Pro: Travel Visa Pro provides expedited visa processing, passport services, and travel document assistance for both leisure and corporate travelers — competing head-to-head with iVisa's Rush/Super-Rush premium offerings.
• PassportVisa.Org: PassportVisa.Org offers expedited visa, passport renewal, and travel document services online — directly competing with iVisa on the courier-based paper visa and passport renewal add-on services.

Emerging players

• Atlys: Atlys is an AI-powered visa processing platform focused on streamlining eVisa applications for individual travelers — a newer entrant with comparable product positioning targeting a similar self-serve traveler customer.
• Sherpa: Sherpa provides visa requirement information, ETA processing, and travel health documentation through APIs — overlapping on the ETA/eVisa processing layer iVisa operates in, with a more productized B2B/B2B2C approach.
• Evisa Express: Evisa Express is an online eVisa application service covering tourist, business, and transit visas for multiple countries — comparable self-serve destination coverage to iVisa with a more limited product portfolio.
• VisaGuide.world: VisaGuide.world provides visa requirement information, application guides, and links to apply — adjacent to iVisa as a content-driven entry point that competes for SEO-driven visa intent traffic and potentially funnels users elsewhere.

Regional players

• Boundless Immigration: Boundless is a US-focused immigration technology company handling visa and green card applications — comparable to iVisa's guided US B1/B2 advisory services but limited to US jurisdiction, which is why iVisa lists them as a partner.
