Hi Product Hunt! I'm Dilla, co-founder & CPO of SPUN. A few years ago I moved to Japan for a job and got fired on my first day. Restructuring, nothing I did wrong. Should've been annoying but recoverable. Except I was stuck. I'm Indonesian, I'd lived in the UK for 4 years, and I couldn't just go back. My visa there was tied to that old job. Suddenly I'm in a country I just arrived in, no job, and no clear path back to the place I'd actually built a life in. Then I tried job hunting abroad and hit the same wall over and over. Every option came with a visa problem attached, and visa problems are genuinely hard to research. Rules are scattered, they change without notice, and half of what you need to know is buried in embassy PDFs or Facebook groups. Nobody builds proper tools for this because it's not exciting, it's just tedious. That's schlep blindness. The problem isn't invisible, it's just annoying enough that everyone avoids fixing it. That's why SPUN exists. We treat visas like infrastructure instead of a one-off form to suffer through: AI-verified checklists based on your actual profile, autofill instead of retyping the same info six times, and an actual status dashboard instead of silence. 12,000+ applications processed, 99%+ approval rate. Now we're pushing into B2B, travel agents and OTAs who deal with this same mess at scale. Ask me anything, and if a visa has ever wrecked your plans, I want to hear it.

curious about the 99%+ approval rate number. is that measured across everyone who starts an application, or does the AI checklist flag likely-to-fail cases early and steer people away before they submit? those are very different claims - one is about how good your product is at prepping paperwork, the other is about how good it is at filtering out cases it can't help with. genuinely relevant for the visa I'm dealing with right now since I'd want to know if a clean submission actually means anything if my case is unusual

 thanks for the comment! 99% is amongst all paid applications. whenever we found issues along the way, we tell our users they're eligible for a refund as we have money-back policy. our system do have capability to catch this early to prevent rejections at the end whenever possible. improving this one step at a time!

 that clears it up, thanks. so it's a 99% success rate conditional on someone actually paying, not a raw rate across everyone who opens the flow. do you track how many people start, get flagged as a risky case by the checklist, and just quietly don't pay because of it? that number would tell me a lot more about whether the 99% is the checklist doing real work versus just who reaches checkout

Finally someone making this less painful. The interface looks clean and having 100+ permit types in one place beats the usual email-back-and-forth mess I've dealt with before.

 thank you! hopefully we can be useful for you someday!

Really enjoyed reading the founder story—it makes the problem feel very tangible. One thing I'm curious about: since visa requirements can change frequently and sometimes without much notice, what's been the biggest challenge in keeping the AI guidance accurate and reliable across so many countries? It feels like that's one of the hardest problems to solve in this space.

 thanks for the question! we pull information from everywhere: official embassy sites, socials, and especially on the ground where most things actually happen. the higher volume we have, the more reinforced learnings we will gain, and the more accurate things will be for both verification side & ETA :)
