Windrush scandal 2.0 ⚠️

Up to 200k people who live legally in the UK could end up undocumented due to the eVisa scheme.

In a rush to digitise proof of the right to be in the UK, many older and digitally excluded people could be denied access to services and housing.

The UK eVisa scheme is the Windrush scandal on repeat.

Thousands of people could find themselves unable to prove their legal right to be in the UK.

But there's a simple solution to this mess: allow physical proof of immigration status.

Windrush scandal 2.0 ⚠️

Up to 200k people who live legally in the UK could end up undocumented due to the eVisa scheme.

In a rush to digitise proof of the right to be in the UK, many older and digitally excluded people could be denied access to services and housing.

For a year, we've asked the UK Home Office to allow migrants to use a physicaI ID to prove their right to be in the UK.

This latest eVisa fiasco shows why this is urgently needed.

The UK eVisa scheme gets even worse.

Migrants have been made to get an eVisa and then get told it's not accepted as valid ID or proof of immigration status!

This hostile scheme is pushing people into uncertainty and risks creating another Windrush scandal.
