The United Kingdom has announced significant updates to its eVisa program as part of a broader transition to a fully digital immigration system. According to the UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI), applicants will now need a UKVI account to access their digital status, with dependents requiring separate accounts.

Key Points:

UKVI is phasing out physical documents for digital eVisas.
Applicants need a UKVI account to access their immigration status.
Dependents, including partners and children, require separate accounts.
Access requires a phone number, email, and passport/BRP details.
The system applies to visas for stays longer than six months.
Applicants will be notified of eVisa eligibility upon visa approval.
Updating to eVisa does not alter existing immigration status.

This digital shift represents a global trend toward streamlined immigration management, offering greater accessibility while raising questions about digital literacy and access for all applicants.
