The UK Home Office confirms that from February 25, 2026, all visitor visa nationals receive eVisas only, linked to a UKVI online account, eliminating paper vignettes, biometric stickers, and passport stamps. Airlines and carriers upgrade systems for real-time validation via the Carrier Check API, enhancing security and reducing fraud like in the EU Settlement Scheme.
