VISAThing! is a travel and tourism startup based in Bangladesh, founded in 2016. The company's slogan, "Your Visa Partner," encapsulates its mission to enable seamless travel across borders using technology. VISAThing! functions as a one-stop visa facilitation platform, aiming to address the challenges faced by approximately 400 million travelers from 140 countries when applying for visas.
Since its inception, VISAThing! has already made significant strides, assisting 10,000+ travelers with their visa requirements, particularly for destinations where an embassy is not present in Bangladesh. The platform has also disseminated visa-related information to a substantial 2.6 million travelers through its website. Impressively, VISAThing! has managed to save travelers a substantial $15 million in travel budgets and 130 man-years in the visa application process over the past three years.
The company has received its last investment in the form of a $500K seed round in January 2018. VISAThing! is gearing up for expansion, with plans to venture into India and Nepal in 2020, followed by Vietnam and Thailand in 2021.
