The eVisa scheme continues to be beset with problems, causing huge anxiety for people who have the right to be in the UK.

At the start of February, the Home Office admitted that refugee’s travel documents can’t be linked to their eVisa.

eVisas aren't working.

Content Warning

The UK Home Office must use the latest delay in rolling out the eVisa scheme to makes changes.

Migrants need to be able to prove their immigration status offline with a QR code or digital token that can be saved or printed out.

The eVisa scheme means a migrants' right to be in the UK is checked online everytime they need to prove it.

Without a physical or saved digital proof of status, migrants are exposed to data errors, system crashes and the stability of Internet connections.

There must be an offline version.

Further delays won't solve the problems with the UK's eVisa scheme.

The sticking plaster of advising migrants to use expired documentation makes the situation worse.

People are being stopped at borders and denied access to services or benefits.

Change is needed.

Quote from Sara Alsherif, ORG Programme Manager: "We urge the Home Office to follow the recommendations of ORG and many other campaigners, to ensure that people can have a version of their immigration for use offline that can be saved, such as a QR code, or print out."

The UK e-Visa scheme is inaccessible to many people.

With migrants' proof of the right to be in the UK hanging in the balance, we're seeing a digital Windrush scandal in the making.

Jana Trkulja from IMK Solicitors talked to us about the technical barriers that migrants are facing.
