Intellivisa, an artificial intelligence (AI) platform that automates visa applications and other entry requirements for international travelers, has raised $3 million in pre-seed funding.
The funding will be used to expand its technology beyond visa processing to cover a broader range of clearance requirements.
The round was led by Mu Ventures and Incisive Ventures, with participation from Uncommon Denominator, Recursive Ventures and, through the investment program Pre-Seed to Succeed, AltaIR Capital and Smart Partnership Capital. The company also received funding from United Airlines Ventures.
Intellivisa offers airlines, travel management companies and online travel agencies an AI-powered clearance engine. As soon as travelers complete a booking, they are connected to Intellivisa, which guides them through the visa, entry and compliance process.
The platform uses AI agents to identify visa and other entry requirements based on travelers’ passports and destinations. It also checks documentation, screens for fraud, prepares and submits applications and manages payments and refunds.
“Intellivisa replaces that guesswork, paperwork and manual work with AI agents built directly into the travel experience,” said Sudeepa Singh, CEO and co-founder of Intellivisa.
When travelers are cleared before they get to the airport, the economics of international travel changes for “the airlines, travel platforms and governments who pay when it goes wrong,” Singh added in a LinkedIn post. “This round is the first step toward the clearance layer for global travel: the infrastructure every international trip will eventually run through.”
The platform supports more than 50 document types from 195 countries for business, leisure and educational travel. Combining AI with human specialists, the company reports an approval rate over 99%, with applications typically being filed within minutes and approved within 10-12 hours.
“International travel has been transformed by digital booking, loyalty program apps and virtual customer service agents, but the entry-compliance experience hasn’t kept pace,” said Gary Benerofe, general partner at Mu Ventures. “Intellivisa is deploying agentic workflows in exactly the way they should be used—to solve an incredibly manual process that bogs down [the] traveler experience as well as travel management and airline operations.”
Intellivisa in 2025 raised an undisclosed amount of funding in an angel round backed by Antler and individual investors.
