Check your readiness. Understand requirements. Skip the guesswork.
The real problem
Requirements shift without warning. Policies change overnight. What worked last year may not work tomorrow. You can do everything right and still face rejection—not because of anything you did, but because the rules changed.
But here's what doesn't change: Prepared travelers have options. Unprepared travelers don't.

What's happening now
Visa policies shift without warning. Some doors close while others remain open. The travelers who succeed aren't the ones who wait—they're the ones who stay ready.
Recent change: US restrictions
On Dec 20, 2025, the US restricted entry for nationals of 26 countries, citing screening concerns. This affects both tourist and work visas.

Where we fit
Visa centers like VFS and TLS are contracted by governments to collect documents and biometrics. That's their job—and they do it well. But they can't help you prepare, tell you your chances, or remember your last trip.
The first system that remembers you
We're not trying to replace visa centers. We're building something that doesn't exist yet: a travel identity that's yours.
Your documents verified once, stored securely, ready whenever you need them. Your travel history growing with every trip. Your readiness visible before you pay a single fee.
By the time you walk into VFS, you'll know exactly what you need, whether you're ready, and what your chances look like.
Other services help you apply. We're building trust infrastructure for travelers.

I spent 3 weeks gathering documents for my Schengen application, only to discover at the VFS center that my bank statement format was wrong. A checklist that actually understood Nigerian banks would have saved me ₦180K.
Start with the destinations that are open. Build the record that will serve you when others reopen.
