UK visitor visa just changed. If you’re applying this year, read this carefully.
From 25 February 2026, the UK stopped issuing visa stickers for most visitor visas.
That means if your visa is approved:
• Nothing will be pasted inside your passport
• Your visa will now be fully digital (eVisa)
• Your immigration status will be linked to your UKVI account
Instead of showing a visa sticker, airlines and border officers will verify your permission to travel digitally through the UK system.
So if you’re applying this year, you should understand a few things:
1. How to access your UKVI account
2. How your passport is linked to your eVisa
3. How to prove your immigration status online
4.Why your passport may come back without any visa inside
A lot of people still expect to see a visa sticker in their passport. That system is now being phased out as the UK moves to a fully digital immigration system.
If you’re planning a UK trip this year, understand the process before you apply.

If you live abroad, this video is for you. Share it with others after watching it. This Sunday, the 8th of February, will be my 36th year of living in the UK. Time flew, and I decided to share this with you. #deleolawanle#deleolawanlesnuggets
I don’t blame Alvarez for wanting to be part of history. Which football player will not want Arsenal right now? lol, if you want success you need to roll with successful and powerful people after all. 😁😁
