Bringing Travel Requirements Into One Platform
Founded by Nirbhay Handa and Lee Smith, Multipolitan is developing tools to help users organize information that is often spread across separate travel and immigration systems.
The company describes its app through three functions:
- Function: Live; Planned purpose: Organize passports, visas, residence information, family documents, and deadline reminders
- Function: Travel; Planned purpose: Bring together entry requirements, pre-arrival preparation, and flight updates
- Function: Stay; Planned purpose: Track time abroad, stay allowances, and approaching deadlines
Planned features include calculations for covered travel rules, such as Schengen scenarios.
These remain product plans rather than confirmation that every proposed feature is already available.
Manila’s Role in Development
Multipolitan says it intends to tap Manila’s mobile and full-stack development talent as it expands its technology team.
The announcement does not specify an office-opening date, hiring target, or recruitment schedule.
The company currently reports more than 40 employees across Singapore, Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Bengaluru, with additional offices planned in Manila and Kuala Lumpur.
Building From an Existing Business
Multipolitan reports that its Private Client business generated more than US$4 million in net revenue in under two years.
The company says experience from that business is informing its consumer platform.
The app is scheduled to launch free worldwide, followed by a premium version with additional features planned for the second quarter of 2027.
For Philippine readers, the immediate development is the planned local technology presence. The app’s consumer features and hiring opportunities will become clearer as the company publishes launch and expansion details.
