The UK immigration system is switching from physical visas to eVisas. This is more convenient as they don’t need to return later to collect a visa vignette sticker,” a representative of UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI) told Metro on Tuesday. “The UK immigration system is going digital. From February 25, 2026, visitors to the UK who need a visa will get an eVisa only,” UKVI said. Once the UK eVisa is approved, they can check it online and enter the UK from any country.”
