Most refusals come down to paperwork. Yours doesn’t have to.

DocuFlag reads the documents you upload (passport, bank statements, flight bookings, hotel confirmations, etc.), extracts the key facts, and cross-checks them against the published consulate requirements for your destination. It flags discrepancies — dates that don’t line up, balances below the published threshold, names that don’t match across documents — and tells you exactly what it found and where to look. You make the decisions.

No. DocuFlag is a self-help software tool that compares documents against published rules. We are not a law firm, we don’t employ immigration advisers, and nothing we say is legal advice on your specific situation. For anything beyond a routine application — refusal history, complex employment or family circumstances, criminal record, prior overstays — speak to a licensed immigration adviser.

No, and anyone who tells you they can is lying to you. Visa decisions are made by consulate officers with discretion over factors no software can see — interview demeanour, political context, country-specific refusal trends, your prior travel history that may not be in your uploaded documents. DocuFlag helps you avoid obvious paperwork mistakes; it cannot change the outcome of the underlying decision.

Yes. DocuFlag runs a multi-pass AI pipeline: a multimodal vision-and-language model first reads every document end-to-end and extracts structured facts, then a reasoning pass cross-references those facts against the official requirements and against each other — checking that names, dates, balances, and travel windows all hold up across the file. Even with that, the model can misread a smudged date, miss a stamp on a faded page, or flag something that’s actually fine. We cite the source for every observation so you can verify it, and we flag low-confidence extractions instead of quietly passing them through — but the final read of your application is your responsibility.

Yes — always. DocuFlag catches the kind of mistakes that bounce applications on paperwork grounds; it does not replace a careful final read. Treat the output as a second pair of eyes, not a sign-off.

Talk to a licensed adviser. If you’ve had a prior refusal, an overstay, a criminal record, a recent deportation, or you’re applying on grounds that involve discretion (settlement, asylum, family reunion, investor visas), the published rules are only part of the picture and DocuFlag won’t see the rest. Routine short-stay applications are the sweet spot for this kind of tool; edge cases need a human.

Today: Schengen short-stay (Type C) visas for tourism, business, and visiting friends and family across 10 countries — Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, and Switzerland. We’re expanding the destination list based on demand — drop us a line if your destination isn’t covered.

In encrypted-at-rest cloud storage hosted in the EU, with keys held in a managed key management service that only the running app can use. The AI provider never stores your documents and never uses them to train any AI model. You can also turn cloud sync off from Settings — when off, no server-side copy of any case is kept; documents still transit our EU analysis server in-memory for AI processing, but only your browser’s local cache holds the persistent copy.

Three layers. (1) Storage: when cloud sync is on (the default), everything is encrypted at rest in EU infrastructure; the key material lives in a managed key-management service that only the running app process can access. (2) Access: the server can decrypt your data only inside an authenticated session that you started — every decryption call is logged to an immutable audit trail. We don’t use your data to train any AI model. (3) Your control: turn cloud sync off from Settings at any time. Doing so wipes the cloud copy and schedules cryptographic erasure of the encryption key (30-day reversible window); your browser’s local cache keeps working. From that point on, no copy of any case is kept on our servers.

$14.99 to check a single application, with discounted family bundles of 3 ($39.99) or 4 ($49.99) if you’re applying together or covering multiple trips. No subscription, no auto-renew. Credits never expire. See pricing above.

DocuFlag doesn’t sell visa approval; we sell a checking service. The credit pays for the analysis you received, regardless of how the consulate eventually rules. If you believe the tool itself malfunctioned, write to [email protected] within 14 days and we’ll make it right.

A filing service submits the application on your behalf, often with a human reviewing your case for an upfront fee in the hundreds. DocuFlag doesn’t file anything or talk to the consulate — it runs an automated factual cross-check on documents you already have, for the price of a takeaway meal. The two are complementary: if you’re using a filing service, DocuFlag is a cheap pre-flight check before they submit; if you’re going alone, it’s a second pair of eyes before you do.
