Visa processing platform Atlys has announced India’s first visa sale, offering visa applications to several international destinations for ₹1. The two-day sale, named Atlys One Way Out, will be available exclusively on the Atlys website on 4 and 5 August.
Indian travellers will be able to apply for visas to countries including the UAE, UK, Vietnam, Indonesia, Australia, South Africa, Egypt, Hong Kong, Georgia, Oman, Morocco, Qatar, Kenya, and Taiwan for Rs 1. The sale also includes appointment bookings for countries requiring in-person visits, such as the United States and select Schengen nations, at the same rate.
According to data from the European Commission and Condé Nast Traveller, Indian applicants lost over ₹664 crore in non-refundable visa fees across various countries in 2024. Atlys’s initiative aims to address such costs by lowering visa-related expenditure.
“Atlys was created to eliminate friction from the visa process. With the One Way Out Sale, we are taking that mission even further,” said Mohak Nahta, Founder and CEO of Atlys. “For the first time, travellers can get visas at a price that feels impossible. We want to challenge what people expect from this industry and prove that global travel can be truly within reach.”
Over the past 60 days, Atlys has recorded increased search queries for destinations such as Vietnam, Indonesia, Georgia, the UK, and the UAE, with growth ranging between 18% and 44% compared to the previous period. The demand is primarily driven by users from tier 1 and tier 2 cities, particularly from Gen Z and millennials. A significant portion of this interest has come from first-time travellers.
Nahta added, “We anticipate the strongest demand for UAE visas during the sale, followed closely by the UK. Urban millennials and Gen Z from metro cities are likely to drive the most traffic.”
The Rs1 visa sale is intended to encourage broader access to international travel, particularly among first-time or cost-sensitive travellers. Atlys aims to reduce both procedural and financial barriers in the visa application process.
