UK Switches to eVisas from Physical Ones in February 2026

The UK replaces physical visas with eVisas starting February 2026, digitizing travel for global visitors. Applicants receive online approvals linked to passports, ditching stickers and embassy queues. This covers tourism, work, and study, with biometrics speeding border checks. Key tip: Apply via the official portal weeks ahead and save QR codes digitally. eGates at Heathrow promise swift entry to tea-soaked countryside and castle-crowned hills.
