UK Starts eVisas for Pakistanis – No Need to Submit Passport

The United Kingdom has made it easy for the people of Pakistan to apply for a visa by rolling out eVisas for those who want to work and study. To be precise, you can now get your visa without having to send your passport to the embassy for a stamp or sticker via the new online application procedure.

Under the new system, once you receive a visa, the visa is automatically linked to the passport number and stored digitally. You will have an online UKVI (UK Visa and Immigration) account where you can check your visa details at any time. At the airport, you only need to bring your passport and display your digital visa record.

This move not only helps to speed up the process but also prevents passport loss during the visa application. It also eases the travel plans for the students and the workers.

At present, the eVisa system applies strictly to those who intend to study and work in the UK. On the other hand, those wishing to obtain a tourist visa or family visa still require a physical passport sticker, although future revisions may reverse this situation.

This is a great step forward and will help many Pakistanis who plan to study or work in the UK.
