What is Atlys?

Atlys is a visa-processing app that helps travelers apply for and track visas across more than 120 destinations. In March 2026 it raised $36M after reporting 11x growth and a run rate above 700,000 visas annually.

Atlys turns visa applications into a consumer mobile workflow: scan a passport, answer trip questions, upload documents, and track status. Its core market is cross-border travelers who want a guided alternative to embassy portals, agents, and manual document checks.

The company has expanded from a U.S.-founded startup into a high-growth India and global travel platform. Public reports around its 2026 Series C said it had processed nearly 450,000 visas since the prior round and was running above 700,000 visas annually, with AI document verification and international expansion as current priorities.

How does Atlys make money?

Atlys makes money from visa-processing service fees, add-ons, and payment economics around travel-document applications.

Atlys does not publish a universal price card because total cost varies by destination, government visa fee, processing path, urgency, and optional protection. Its terms distinguish government visa fees from Atlys fees and state that Atlys Protect terms are displayed at application time.

Growth is driven by destination coverage, repeat travelers, partnerships, faster document verification, and international expansion. The business is more transaction-driven than seat-based SaaS, so volume, approval reliability, refunds, support cost, and payment conversion are core unit-economic drivers.

Who leads Atlys?

Atlys is led by founder and CEO Mohak Nahta, with investor and operating support from Peak XV, Elevation, Long Journey, Susquehanna, MakeMyTrip, and earlier a16z participation.
