Immigration Portal
Product Manager (0-1, UX Design, Growth, Data Security)
The Immigration Portal is a comprehensive system designed for immigration consultants to manage and streamline the visa application process. Consultants can upload documents, which the system then processes using OCR technology to pre-fill application forms. The portal tailors the application requirements based on each country’s specific visa regulations, creating a seamless onboarding journey for filling out necessary documents. Additionally, the platform functions like a CRM, allowing consultants to keep tabs on each application’s progress, manage client interactions, and ensure timely updates and follow-ups.
