AI-Powered Platform Aims to Automate Visa Services
UAE-based startup VISARUN.AI has raised $700,000 in pre-seed funding from Swiss and UAE angel investors. The funding will fuel the company’s growth, allowing it to enhance its platform, expand its sales team, and strengthen its presence in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, India, and China.
Founded in 2024 by Vladimir Indjikian and Alena Iakina, VISARUN.AI is on a mission to streamline visa processing using AI, cutting manual effort by up to 70%. With visa backlogs and long processing times in many regions, the company aims to bring efficiency, accuracy, and automation to the visa application process.
How VISARUN.AI is Changing the Visa Industry
Visa applications often involve complex paperwork, long waiting times, and manual verification processes. VISARUN.AI’s AI-powered platform simplifies this by offering:
- Smart Visa Route System – Automatically suggests the best visa pathway based on travel dates, nationality, and approval probability.
- AI-Powered Interview Simulations – Virtual visa interview preparation with real-time feedback.
- Visa Approval Calculator – Helps businesses estimate visa success rates before applying.
- Advanced Document Verification – Uses computer vision and machine learning to ensure document accuracy.
By integrating these features, VISARUN.AI is making visa processing faster, more transparent, and more efficient.
Why the Market Needs VISARUN.AI
The MENA region faces significant visa processing delays due to high demand and staffing shortages. Current visa processing times range from 4 to 12 weeks, creating hurdles for individuals and businesses. VISARUN.AI tackles these issues by automating approvals, reducing paperwork, and improving accuracy.
With an estimated 41.4% of the Arab world’s workforce being migrants, the demand for efficient visa services is higher than ever. The company is targeting key markets like India, Pakistan, and CIS countries, which have a high demand for visas to the EU and US.
