Does 10 years uk visit visa needs to be converted to evisa

Post by Wilkinsin88 » Tue Jan 21, 2025 4:44 pm

Hi,

My parents got 10 years uk visit visa multiple entry in 2024 and expiring in 2034.

Do I need to convert their visit visa to evisa or can they enter uk with valid visas stamped on their passports?

eVisa is for holders of UK limited or indefinite leave to remain.
Visitor visas don’t give residency privileges.
So not required.
This is just my opinion as a member of this forum and does not constitute immigration advice.
Please do not send me private messages asking for advice.

I think they’re talking about the new electronic visa for visitors.

Electronic visas are for non-visa required citizens like USA, Canada, Australia etc.

Whilst sticker visas are for countries that require visas to enter the UK.

Electronic visas and sticker visas do the same job. Just less stress compared.

The advise from alterhase58 remains solid.
No sin in failing, you just have to try and try again!
