VisaDoc and BCD Travel partnership

“We’re excited to welcome VisaDoc to the BCD Marketplace, making global business travel faster, easier, and fully compliant by automating every step of the visa process,” - BCD Travel.
“We are thrilled to be a part of the BCD Marketplace — a natural fit for global capability,” - James Tomlin, CEO of VisaDoc.

Business travel has long been a key driver of growth, connecting companies to markets, partners, and opportunities worldwide. Yet as travel resumes at full scale, one part of the process still operates in slow motion: business visa processing and management.

The partnership between VisaDoc and BCD Travel directly addresses that challenge. By integrating visa automation into one of the world’s leading travel management platforms, we connect business travel and visa compliance within a single, enterprise-grade system.

The result is more than convenience. It is the foundation of a connected, compliant, and data-driven travel programme.

Why this partnership matters for global business travel

The recovery of international business travel has been swift. Data from major global markets shows rising volumes of short-term trips, project rotations, and cross-border assignments.

Yet, with this resurgence comes complexity: visa regulations continue to evolve, data protection rules are stricter, and companies face growing accountability for how they manage employee mobility. The system actively monitors changes in visa requirements and adapts processes accordingly to ensure compliance with the latest regulations.

Every trip now triggers multiple administrative steps, including assessing visa type, validating documents, monitoring stay limits, and tracking compliance. For travel managers coordinating hundreds or thousands of travellers, this manual effort consumes valuable hours and introduces the risk of error.

VisaDoc’s integration into BCD Travel’s marketplace solves this fragmentation. It embeds visa automation within the travel management ecosystem used by the world’s largest corporations, where travel decisions are already made. The platform continuously tracks relevant changes in visa regulations across countries, ensuring compliance and reducing errors.

What this means for BCD Travel clients

For BCD’s global client base, VisaDoc offers measurable improvements across four dimensions of travel management:

  1. Efficiency – The platform cuts traditional processing time through automation. Business travellers can move from request to approval in hours rather than days.
  2. Compliance – Every visa is tracked, verified, and stored under certified secure environments, reducing compliance risks and providing audit-ready documentation.
  3. Cost control – VisaDoc’s automation reduces administrative overhead and undocumented spend, helps travel managers manage budgets and forecast costs accurately, and streamlines automated reimbursement processing for travel-related expenses.
  4. Employee satisfaction – Travellers experience fewer delays and receive proactive updates, improving satisfaction and reducing pressure on mobility teams. The platform provides peace of mind and a good experience for travellers by reducing stress and minimising errors.

This combination supports the core business metrics that define modern travel management: cost efficiency, risk reduction, and service quality.

As both companies look ahead, the focus remains on enabling faster, safer, and smarter business travel across borders.

“We are super excited to be on the BCD Marketplace,” said Damian Porter, VisaDoc’s Director of Partnerships

For travel managers, it means less time spent coordinating vendors and more time focusing on strategy. For companies, it establishes a compliant and scalable foundation that supports growth across borders.
