The UK Home Office has failed migrants.

The eVisa scheme is founded on an incomplete and misleading Data Protection Impact Assessment, meaning foreseeable risks were not mitigated.

ORG has brought together 19 civil society groups to call on the ICO to formally investigate the resulting data protection breaches and accessibility issues.

The UK eVisa scheme is a digital-only system that checks immigration status in real time.

The DPIA is misleading. It claims eVisas are part of a 'digital by default' transformation that people can choose to use.

But it removes all physical documentation and users can't opt out of digital methods.
