e-Visas are a digital- and online-only replacement of physical documentation for migrants to prove their right to be in the UK.

Migrants are exposed to errors when their status is checked in real-time online. With records live matched across multiple database using algorithmic guess-work, it's an unstable system by design.

ORG's @sarahalsherif explains ⬇️

“The UK Government has inherited a completely unrealistic digitalisation programme which has already ruined the lives of many EU citizens in the UK.

It will now put at risk the rights of four million more migrants, leaving people without reliable proof of their immigration status and at the hands of the hostile environment."

🗣️ Monique Hawkins, Research and Policy Officer for @the3million

What's wrong with e-Visas?

Replacing physical documents, migrants' proof of status (UK) will be checked in real-time online.

Using error-prone algorithmic guesswork, records will be live matched and rematched across multiple databases.

It's a recipe for disaster.
