Popular free calling app Botim has teamed up with travel website musafir.com to offer users a streamlined process for applying for tourist visas in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The prices for visas start from Dh450.
According to Abdallah Abu Shaikh, co-founder and CEO of Astra Tech, Botim’s parent company, the app now allows customers to apply for 30- and 60-day single and multi-entry visas. This partnership aims to make it easier and more convenient for expatriates residing in the UAE to bring their family and friends for short visits. Compared to other options, this service offers a cost-effective and time-efficient solution.
Swift Processing and Additional Benefits
The standard turnaround time for visa applications through Botim is between 24 and 72 hours, with an option for express applications completed within 24 hours. In addition to visa services, users can enjoy free Internet calling, mobile top-ups, recharge services, and more.
Seamless Visa Application Process and Tracking
The end-to-end visa service provided by musafir.com on the Botim app begins with the user filling out the visa application form. Users can then track their application status directly on the app and receive a copy of the approved tourist visa. The app also features a transaction history page for users to review their submitted applications.
New App Features and Premium Experiences
Aside from the visa service, Botim offers new features such as international money transfers through a partnership with MoneyGram. Users can also make donations to those affected by the earthquake in Syria and Turkey through the Red Crescent donations tile. Additionally, Botim provides a premium membership called Botim VIP, offering HD calling, an ad-free experience, better call quality optimization, a VIP profile badge, and exclusive access to upcoming features.
Abu Shaikh emphasizes that Botim remains completely free for its user base of 90 million users, with the option to upgrade to Botim VIP for an enhanced experience. The app’s relaunch is just the first step toward transforming Botim into an ultra app, with plans to provide various products and services such as fintech, international money transfers, peer-to-peer money transfers, bill payments, government services, pharmacy services, e-commerce, and more.
Revolutionary Ultra App Experience
Botim’s ultra app aims to revolutionize user interaction, engagement, and transactions by offering a significantly more seamless, faster, and intuitive experience. Unlike super apps, Botim’s ultra app will not rely on rented growth or partnerships with other businesses or apps to provide services. The focus is on creating a self-sufficient platform that enhances the user experience.
