Best Practices

Always validate country of visa issuance before querying the visa number.

Use secure HTTPS endpoints and handle sensitive visa data with encryption.

Implement retry logic for transient API failures to ensure service reliability.

Important Limitations

The visa verification is limited to visas issued by Qatar only.

Real-time access depends on the availability of the immigration database.

Rate limits apply to prevent abuse—contact support for higher limits.

How APIs in this Category Work Together

This category includes both utility and core verification APIs that work in tandem. The Country list API helps determine which countries support visa verification through this service, while the Visa Verification API performs the actual validation and status retrieval.

Key Integration Patterns:

Country list + Visa Verification: First check if the country supports visa verification, then proceed to validate the visa.

Visa Verification + Custom Workflows: Combine with internal systems (HR, immigration, or check-in) for automated decision-making.

Visa Verification + Notification Systems: Set alerts based on visa status changes for ongoing compliance monitoring.

An end-to-end workflow might begin with selecting a country using the Country list API, then using the Visa Verification API to confirm the visa's validity and status, followed by updating internal records or notifying users of results.

This category is part of a broader suite of APIs supporting travel, immigration, and identity verification.

Related Categories include:

Identity Verification: Often used alongside visa verification for comprehensive traveler or employee screening.

Travel Authorization: Checks travel eligibility in conjunction with visa requirements.

Document Validation: Verifies authenticity of passports or national IDs, complementing visa verification.

Together, these categories offer a cohesive solution for governments and enterprises requiring secure and streamlined identity and travel verification services.
