The UK has officially replaced physical visa stickers with eVisas for non-European skilled workers and students, starting June 15, 2025.
This shift is part of efforts to digitise the immigration system and simplify visa processing.
According to TravelBiz, the new system allows eligible applicants to receive a digital visa known as an eVisa accessible through a UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI) account, instead of the traditional visa vignette sticker in their passport.
