How the process works

The procedure is divided into three steps. First, the traveler provides their nationality and destination to learn the exact requirements. Second, they complete a guided online form, with automatic saving to resume the application where they left off. Third, a team of experts reviews the application before submitting it, and once approved, the document is sent to the applicant's email. The company claims to have processed over a million applications.

Compared to the option of doing the process on their own, iVisa highlights expert review to catch errors before submission, 24/7 support via WhatsApp, email, and chat, and acceptance of payment methods such as cards, PayPal, and Apple Pay. The company reports a 99% approval rate.

Coverage and credentials

iVisa operates with over 300 team members globally and processes more than 2,000 documents daily, according to its own information. It serves travelers from over 190 countries and has accumulated more than 70,000 verified reviews.

The company was founded in 2013, following the frustration caused by the introduction of a new visa requirement in Latin America.
