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.
