Traveltech Atlys has today announced its expansion into the UK market. The digital visa platform’s UK expansion follows a $20M funding round from marquee global investors.
As part of its UK expansion, Atlys has acquired Artionis, a UK-based visa services company, bringing aboard 40 specialists across offices in London, Manchester, and Edinburgh. It plans to double headcount to 80 employees in the UK this year. Atlys is an online platform that helps people apply for visas to various countries. Atlys offers services for visas to the United Kingdom, the United States, India, and other countries.
The platform's predictive engine provides exact visa approval timelines and backs this certainty with refund guarantees for rejected or delayed applications. Users can complete applications in under five minutes and upload documents once to become visa-ready for more than 100 countries, eliminating redundant paperwork. Within six months of its launch, Atlys rapidly became the largest visa processor in India – capturing a lion’s share of the market.
Roughly 13 percent of the UK population are non-UK passport holders, offering a key market opportunity for Atlys. "Expanding to the UK represents more than just market growth – it's about creating a more equitable travel ecosystem," said Mohak Nahta, Founder and CEO of Atlys.
"Our platform is designed to make international travel accessible to everyone, regardless of their passport strength, and the UK's strategic position will help us extend this impact across Europe."
"Since our initial investment, Atlys has demonstrated exceptional growth, processing over two million visas while maintaining strong user satisfaction," said Shraeyansh Thakur, Principal at Peak XV. "Their data-driven approach and focus on user experience set them apart. The UK expansion represents a significant step toward becoming the definitive platform for global travel enablement."
