Pakistani travellers can now travel to the UK with eVisas

## Introduction of eVisas

Pakistani travelers heading to the UK can now utilize a digital eVisa system, as announced by the British High Commission in Pakistan. This new system replaces the traditional visa sticker in passports with a digital record accessible online.

## Application Process

Travelers will continue to apply online and visit a visa application center for biometrics. However, successful applicants will receive their visa confirmation via email, allowing them to retain their passports after the biometrics appointment.

## Benefits of eVisas

The eVisa system offers a more secure way to manage immigration status, reducing the risk of lost or damaged documents. It also simplifies the process by eliminating the need for a second visit to the visa center.

## Share Code System

A new share code system allows travelers to easily demonstrate their visa status at UK borders and in other necessary situations. This system is part of the broader rollout of eVisas, which were previously introduced for students and work visa holders.

## No Changes to Processing Times

The introduction of eVisas does not affect visa processing times, eligibility criteria, or conditions. Applicants are advised to apply directly through the official government website to ensure they receive accurate information.
