Effective from February 25, 2026, the United Kingdom has made the biggest change in its visa issuance history by fully digitizing its Visitor Visa issuance process. Accordingly, no visa sticker (vignette) will be affixed to the passport of any person
Instead, applicants will be issued a digital electronic visa, an eVisa, which is directly linked to their passport and securely stored in their UKVI online account. Furthermore, the Home Office recommends that applicants log in and check their UKVI account at least 24 hours before their flight to ensure their immigration data is up-to-date.
