Evisa

What Evisa does

eVisa B.V. (operating as Evisa / eVisa Application Services) is a privately-held Dutch service bureau founded in 2014 that intermediates ESTA (Electronic System for Travel Authorization) applications for citizens of Visa Waiver Program countries — primarily the Netherlands and Belgium — traveling to the United States. The company operates a single self-service online platform (esta-aanvragen.nl) through which travelers complete their ESTA submissions in Dutch, with payments accepted via local methods (iDEAL, Bancontact, PayPal, major credit cards) that the official US Customs and Border Protection site does not support.

The underlying technology is a relatively conventional web application with two notable components: (1) a rule-based form validation layer that flags common user errors before submission (e.g., detecting the letter 'O' in Dutch passport numbers, where the digit '0' is required), and (2) a manual review workflow in which in-house visa specialists check each application prior to forwarding it to CBP. Additional product surface includes a group application feature (auto-populating family member data into a single submission) and an eVisums service covering electronic visas for destinations beyond the US. The company has no mobile app, no public API, and no disclosed integration partnerships beyond payments and web analytics.

Commercially, Evisa runs a pure transaction-fee model at €63.95 per traveler, inclusive of consular pass-through costs (the official US government fee is $40 USD), implying a service fee of roughly €25-30 per application. Go-to-market is self-serve product-led growth via Dutch-language SEO and content marketing, with no sales team, no resellers, and no enterprise customers. The company is founder/owner-operated with no external investment, no disclosed headcount, and a single headquarters in Zwolle, Netherlands. No revenue, headcount, M&A, or leadership change data is publicly available.

Broad incumbents

• VisaCentral: Established corporate and individual visa services provider offering ESTA, tourist, and business visa processing. Comparable on the consumer ESTA workflow, with deeper roots in corporate travel management — a relevant adjacency for Evisa's potential B2B expansion.
• VisaHQ: Long-established online visa and passport services company offering applications for ESTA, tourist, and business visas across 200+ countries. Overlaps directly on ESTA and eVisa services for individual travelers, with a much wider country footprint than Evisa.
• CIBTvisas: One of the largest global visa and travel document service providers, serving both individual travelers and corporate clients. Overlaps on ESTA processing for consumers and on corporate visa/compliance workflows; significantly larger and more diversified than Evisa.

Direct peers

• Sherpa: Digital platform for visa, ETA, and entry requirement services (ESTA, eTA, ETIAS) plus passport/vaccination tracking. Operates the same intermediary model with a self-serve online application and government-fee-plus-service-fee pricing, with a strong focus on traveler UX and partner APIs.
• iVisa: Digital visa and travel authorization service operating globally across ESTA, eVisas, and ETAs with online application and expert review. Closest direct competitor in business model, product, and target customer (individual travelers). Both charge a service fee on top of government fees.
• eVisa.com: Digital visa and electronic travel authorization service covering ESTA and eVisas for many countries with an online application and service-fee model. Operates the same intermediary mechanic as Evisa across the same product category.
• Travel Visa Services (travelvisaservices.com): Online service bureau helping travelers apply for US visas, ESTA, and passports with a similar transaction-fee model. Comparable in service breadth to the US travel document market, including ESTA and group/family applications.

Emerging players

• Atlys: Digital visa and travel authorization startup providing self-serve online applications for ESTA and eVisas across many countries. Similar product, but younger, venture-backed, and focused on a broader multi-country platform rather than a single-destination niche.

Others

• ESTA Official Application (US CBP): The official US government ESTA portal at $40 per application. Not a commercial peer, but the direct free substitute that defines the value proposition and pricing ceiling for every intermediary in the category, including Evisa.
• Holafly / eSIM providers: Adjacent travel-services player selling eSIMs and travel products to international travelers. Not a visa competitor, but illustrative of the kind of adjacency (eSIM, insurance, lounges) that could either compete for the same travel-intent moment or be bundled with ESTA in a future platform.
