Applying for a visa or setting up a company abroad is stressful. Applicants worry about the right documents, the right forms and whether anyone is following up. For a consultancy, every application means emails, scanned passports and spreadsheets. Texas Consultancy wanted to bring all of this online, in one place, for clients across Africa, Asia and the Gulf.

The client

Texas Consultancy helps travellers and entrepreneurs with tourist and business visas, company formation, tax filing and related services. Its clients come from more than 50 countries, from India, Pakistan and the Philippines to Nigeria, Kenya, Egypt and the GCC, and travel to destinations such as the USA, Canada, the UK, the Schengen area and the UAE.

The challenge

• Applicants needed a quick way to find the right service for their nationality and destination.
• Visa, business setup, tax and banking services each needed their own pages and forms.
• Passports and other documents had to be collected securely online.
• The team needed one place to manage enquiries, applications and content.
• Forms had to be protected from spam without making life harder for real applicants.

What we built

1. A visa finder on the homepage

The hero asks two questions: your nationality and your destination. The nationality list covers 52 options, including GCC residents, and the destination list covers 9 countries. Together they send applicants straight to the right service.

2. Most popular visas, one click each

Tabs for the USA, Canada, UK, Schengen and UAE show the key benefits of each visa. For the USA, for example: easy processing, no interview for children under 14, typical validity of 1 to 10 years, online appointment booking and document verification with no hidden charges. Each tab ends with Apply Now.

3. A clear three-step process

A “How it works” section explains the journey: Register & Apply through a secure online application, let the team do all the work, then receive the visa, with real-time status updates along the way. Below it, highlight stats show 9,000+ visas delivered, a 90% approval history, 300+ personal consultants and 100% data-accuracy expertise. A reviews carousel adds social proof.

4. Business setup with online applications

Business setup pages cover USA LLC, Canada, the UK, Dubai, Sharjah and RAKEZ. Each page explains the options (mainland, free zone or offshore) and includes an application form that collects the customer’s name, email, nationality, phone and WhatsApp numbers with country codes, three proposed company names, and passport front and back uploads. Clients submit everything in one go, and the team can start work right away.

5. Tax filing and value-added services

Separate sections cover tax filing for the USA, UK, Canada and Qatar, UAE VAT and corporate tax, plus value-added services: EIN/SS-4 for US businesses, ITIN (W-7) numbers and business banking. One firm, one website, every service a client needs after the visa.

6. Customer accounts and a custom admin panel

Clients can sign up and log in to follow their applications. Behind the scenes, a custom Laravel admin panel lets the team manage enquiries, applications, uploaded documents, blog posts and page content.

7. Security and spam protection

Every form uses Laravel’s CSRF protection, Google reCAPTCHA and a hidden honeypot field to block bots while keeping the experience simple for real applicants.

8. Content and support

A blog publishes practical guides, such as preparing for a US tourist visa interview or applying for a US visa from Bahrain. A newsletter sign-up, WhatsApp and live chat give visitors several ways to ask questions.

Technology

• Back end: Laravel (PHP) with a MySQL database
• Front end: responsive HTML5, CSS3 and JavaScript
• Forms: multi-field applications with file uploads, country-code phone inputs, reCAPTCHA and honeypot fields
• Admin: a custom Laravel panel for applications, documents, enquiries and content

The outcome

Texas Consultancy now runs its visa, business setup and tax services from one platform. Clients find the right service in two clicks, apply online with their documents and track their status, and the team manages every case from a single dashboard.

What’s next

We are now working with Texas Consultancy on the next phase, which includes a dedicated customer application portal, multilingual support and new self-service tools for applicants.

Frequently asked questions

Can you build a visa or immigration consultancy website?

Yes. We build visa and immigration platforms with service finders, online application forms, secure document upload, customer accounts and admin panels.

How do you keep passport uploads secure?

Uploads go through protected forms with CSRF tokens and spam protection, and files are stored on the server for the admin team only, not in public folders.

Why Laravel for a consultancy portal?

Laravel gives a secure, structured base for forms, user accounts, file uploads and admin workflows, and it is easy to extend as the business adds new services.
