In a significant shift in immigration policy, the UK is moving towards digital eVisas, replacing the traditional visa vignette stickers in passports, according to the Home Office. This change primarily affects those applying for work or study visas, who may no longer receive a physical sticker in their passport.
However, some applicants may still receive a vignette sticker to verify their identity at a visa application centre. This applies to those seeking visitor visas, other types of UK visas, or applying as dependants.
