Seema Malhotra, the migration and citizenship minister, said the government had postponed a planned full shift to the new digital immigration system amid \u201creal fear\u201d of another Windrush-style scandal among minority communities.<\/p>\n<p>It follows complaints from eVisa applicants who have failed to gain access to the new digital immigration system so they can demonstrate they have a right to return to their homes in the UK. Most physical documentation proving the right to remain in the UK, such as biometric residence permits, will no longer be valid as proof of residency from 31 December.<\/p>\n<p>It is understood that hundreds of UK residents have struggled to access the system from abroad and so cannot return to their homes, Home Office insiders said. Migrant workers have complained that without an eVisa, they could not access employment or housing. Malhotra said: \u201cI have heard a range of concerns, including that the move to eVisas might negatively impact the vulnerable and elderly, leaving them unable to demonstrate their rights. I know that international travel is also a particular point of concern ahead of the festive period.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have therefore brought in changes to reflect these concerns \u2026 this includes working with airlines to allow biometric residence permits or EU settlement scheme (EUSS) biometric residence cards that expire on or after 31 December to be accepted as valid evidence of permission to travel until 31 March 2025.\u201d Malhotra, who represents the multicultural seat of Feltham and Heston, said there were concerns that without access to eVisas, migrant communities could be locked out of their rights.<\/p>\n<p>The new Labour government committed to righting the wrongs of Windrush. Malhotra said: \u201cFor migrant communities, there is the real fear of something going wrong with Home Office systems and the ongoing impact when it does on every aspect of your life. That\u2019s why we\u2019ve been so focused on listening.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Home Office is setting up a 24-hour helpline for airlines attempting to identify documents over the new year. It is understood that hundreds of UK residents have struggled to access the eVisa system, Home Office insiders said. The Home Office has been issuing eVisas for several years \u2013 including the EU settlement scheme (EUSS) after Brexit, skilled work visas, and for Hongkongers applying for the British national (overseas) visa.<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/uk-news\/2024\/dec\/03\/uk-delays-full-shift-to-digital-immigration-system-amid-evisa-flaws\">Read more&gt;&gt;<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/uk-news\/2024\/dec\/03\/uk-delays-full-shift-to-digital-immigration-system-amid-evisa-flaws\">The Guardian<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/vau-viikkokatsaus\/use-expired-id-to-get-to-uk-says-minister-in-charge-of-flawed-evisas\/\">Use expired ID to get to UK, says minister in charge of flawed eVisas<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[17186,579,606,607,608],"class_list":["post-135848","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-flawed-evisas","tag-uk","tag-vau_viikkokatsaus","tag-vauen","tag-vaufien"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/135848","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=135848"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/135848\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=135848"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=135848"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=135848"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
