Open Visa

What Open Visa does

Open Visa Ltd is a London-based private startup founded in 2023 that builds an AI-native platform for government immigration and visa processing. The platform is composed of three core products — DIS (Decision Intelligence System) for case adjudication, AEGIS for border protection and asylum processing, and VisaKey as a universal, country-deployable application standard — all unified by an underlying AI Decision Matrix that combines AI models, knowledge graphs, and policy guardrails. A defining design choice is Glass Box AI: every decision is traceable to the exact rule version that fired, making outputs explainable to caseworkers and challengeable by applicants, in contrast to black-box AI systems that governments have historically declined to deploy in compliance-sensitive workflows.

The company targets a single customer segment — government immigration agencies worldwide — through an enterprise field sales motion with demos scheduled for Q4 2026. Revenue is intended to be generated via subscription or managed-services licensing of the platform to government departments, though pricing is not publicly disclosed and no customer contracts, pilots, or funding rounds have been announced. Open Visa self-describes as a growing startup in development with 1–10 employees, and is actively soliciting contact from government agencies as well as venture capital and private equity firms, indicating a pre-revenue stage with an imminent capital-raise posture.
