The United Kingdom Embassy in Tirana has announced that the immigration system in its country is entering a new phase of digitalization.<\/p>\n
According to the announcement, starting today, February 25, visitors who require a visa to enter the United Kingdom will be provided with an electronic visa (eVisa), replacing visas printed in the passport.<\/p>\n
What is an eVisa?<\/strong><\/p>\n An eVisa is a digital registration that contains:<\/p>\n Your identity and immigration status (e.g. visa type or whether you have indefinite leave to remain in the UK);<\/p>\n The conditions of your status, such as whether you are allowed to work or study.<\/p>\n Electronic visas will gradually replace all physical immigration documents.<\/p>\n What documents are replaced?<\/strong><\/p>\n Biometric Residence Permits (BRP) have already been replaced by eVisa. The new system will also replace:<\/p>\n Biometric Residence Cards (BRC);<\/p>\n Wet ink stamps or stickers (vignettes) on passports.<\/p>\n Typically, applicants will receive an eVisa after their application for a visa or other type of UK residence permit is successfully approved.<\/p>\n This change aims to increase security, simplify procedures, and modernize the country’s immigration control system.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The United Kingdom Embassy in Tirana has announced that the immigration system in its country is entering a…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":788683,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5018,3,4],"tags":[748,393,4884,1144,712,16,15,1764],"class_list":{"0":"post-788682","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-britain","8":"category-uk","9":"category-united-kingdom","10":"tag-britain","11":"tag-england","12":"tag-great-britain","13":"tag-northern-ireland","14":"tag-scotland","15":"tag-uk","16":"tag-united-kingdom","17":"tag-wales"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/116132976067309457","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/788682","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=788682"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/788682\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/788683"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=788682"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=788682"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=788682"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
