Ebix Travel, operating through its well-known brands Via.com and Mercury Travels, has announced the launch of its comprehensive Via e-Visa platform, a digital solution designed to simplify and speed up the traditionally complex visa application process for Indian travellers. Targeted at B2B travel partners and corporate clients across the country, the new platform aims to transform the way visas are managed by offering a centralised, paperless, and highly efficient system.
Available on Via.com, the e-Visa platform directly addresses some of the biggest challenges in the travel industry by removing the need for physical paperwork and intermediaries. It allows travel partners and corporates to manage applications from anywhere, ensuring faster approvals, cost savings, and greater transparency. The streamlined process includes simplified documentation and direct submissions to embassies and consulates, thereby building customer trust and offering a competitive advantage to travel partners.
Currently covering visa applications for over 40 destinations across Asia, Africa, Europe, and beyond, the Via e-Visa platform includes key markets such as Australia, Japan, the UAE, Russia, Kenya, Malaysia, Morocco, and Thailand. The portfolio has been carefully curated to meet the immediate travel needs of Indians, with expansion plans already in place to add more countries in line with market demand and global travel trends.
Speaking about the launch, Ankur Sharmaa, Chief Business Officer, Via.com (Ebix Travel), said: “The introduction of the Via e-Visa platform is a milestone moment for Ebix Travel and the travel industry in India.
