Atlys launches Visa Support Services, assures travelers, recovers rejections, ETTravelWorld

THE NEWS: Travel‑technology startup Atlys launched Atlys Assure, a service that guarantees a traveller’s booked flight and hotel costs if a visa it predicts as highly likely to be approved is later rejected, alongside a Rejection Recovery service that helps travellers understand and reapply after a denial.

DETAILS:

• Atlys Assure evaluates the likelihood of visa approval before a traveller submits an application.
• If Atlys deems an application highly likely to succeed, it stands behind the traveller’s flight and hotel expenses if the visa is subsequently rejected.
• Rejection Recovery explains the reasons for a visa denial and guides users through the re‑application process.
• Indian travellers lost an estimated INR 662 crore in visa application fees in 2024 due to rejected visitor visas.

WHY IT MATTERS: By offsetting the financial risk of visa rejections, Atlys’s new services aim to protect travellers—particularly Indian tourists who faced losses of INR 662 crore in 2024—and could reduce the hesitation to book flights and hotels before visa certainty.
