Jarmila Entezari of our UK associates IMD Solicitors LLP highlights some very inportant updates to the immenant evisa system.
🚨 Postponement of Full Shift to eVisas Highlights Critical System Glitches 🚨 The Government is postponing the full rollout of eVisas, originally planned for next month, following significant concerns. Reports indicate that hundreds of UK residents abroad have struggled to access the digital immigration system, leaving them unable to prove their right to return to the UK. From 31 December, most physical documents like biometric residence permits will no longer serve as proof of residency. While the move to a fully digital system is intended to modernize immigration processes, this delay underscores the importance of robust testing and user accessibility. For those affected, this is more than a glitch—it’s a disruption to their lives and rights. How can we ensure that digital transformation in critical systems like immigration prioritizes user experience and reliability? 💬 Share your thoughts—what can be done to strike the right balance between innovation and inclusion? #Immigration #eVisas #DigitalTransformation #UserExperience #Policy
