Good news for Pakistani students and skilled workers! The UK has introduced e-visas for individuals staying in the country for more than six months, eliminating the need for physical immigration documents.

This digital switch streamlines the UK visa process, making it easier, faster, and more secure. Announced by the British High Commission in Islamabad, the change applies to most study and work routes, including Skilled Worker, Global Talent, and Youth Mobility schemes.

Already used in other routes, e-visas allow users to link passports to their UKVI accounts for smoother travel. No need to send in your passport anymore! This is part of the UK’s plan to digitise its immigration system by 2025 fully.
