The UK eVisa scheme gets even worse.
Migrants have been made to get an eVisa and then get told it's not accepted as valid ID or proof of immigration status!
This hostile scheme is pushing people into uncertainty and risks creating another Windrush scandal.

For a year, we've asked the UK Home Office to allow migrants to use a physicaI ID to prove their right to be in the UK.
This latest eVisa fiasco shows why this is urgently needed.

What's the problem? Until recently, migrants from outside the EU had physical documents to prove that they and their families could live, work or study in the UK. These could be physical cards or stamps or stickers in their passports. The Home Office planned to replace these physical documents with e-Visas by the end of December 2024. These plans failed and now millions of people are having to use expired documents to prove their right to be in the UK.
