Dubai-based Visarun.ai, a visa-as-a-service platform, has raised US$700,000 in pre-seed funding from undisclosed angel investors.

This funding will help develop the platform, expand the team, and enter new markets including the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, India, and China.

Founded in 2024 by Vladimir Indjikian and Alena Iakina, Visarun.ai streamlines visa processing, reducing manual work by up to 70% with its Smart Visa Route system.

The platform can handle 10,000 visa applications per month and plans to introduce new features like AI-based virtual interview simulation and an advanced document verification.

Targeting regions with significant migrant populations, Visarun.ai focuses on visa-intensive destinations, particularly in the MENA region and South Asia.
