UK Ditches Physical Visas for 2026 Digital Rules

New UK visa rules eliminate physical documents and stickers starting 2026, streamlining entry with eVisas. Travelers access digital approvals via apps, cutting paperwork and wait times at borders. This shift applies to tourists, students, and workers, requiring online applications and biometric links. Practical tip: Update passports early and link visas to travel apps for instant verification. Airports install e-gates for faster clearance, easing post-Brexit journeys.
