Atlys, a digital visa platform recently funded with $20 million, is expanding into the UK with the acquisition of Artionis, a UK-based visa services company. This acquisition adds 40 employees across London, Manchester, and Edinburgh, and Atlys plans to double its UK workforce by year-end. The UK expansion aims to improve travel accessibility, especially for non-UK passport holders.
Artionis brings expertise in UK-to-Russia visa processing, and Atlys will digitize these processes to streamline applications, cutting the time to under five minutes. Atlys has already processed over two million visas globally and aims to expand further into global travel solutions like eSIMs, Forex, and insurance.
