ISLAMABAD: Pakistani citizens will now be able to use the e-Visa system for travel to the United Kingdom (UK), a move aimed at simplifying the visa process and improving convenience for applicants.<\/strong><\/p>\n

According to the British High Commission, the new digital system will benefit Pakistani travelers visiting the UK for tourism and business purposes.<\/p>\n

Under the updated process, visa verification will now be provided via email, eliminating the need for a visa sticker on the passport. Applicants will submit their visa applications online and complete the required biometric verification.<\/p>\n

The High Commission stated that approved applicants will receive their visas through a digital record, which can be accessed through their UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI) online account.<\/p>\n

With the introduction of the e-Visa system, applicants will no longer need to visit a visa center a second time to collect their passports, making the process faster and more efficient.<\/p>\n

Travelers will also be able to generate a share code to confirm their visa status at border control or when required by authorities.<\/p>\n

Officials clarified that while the system has been digitized, there are no changes to the visa process, eligibility criteria, or requirements.<\/p>\n

British High Commissioner Jane Marriott described the development as a major facilitation for Pakistani citizens, saying the e-Visa system will make travel procedures more streamlined and accessible.<\/p>\n
