UK’s new eVisa scheme ‘could create digital Windrush scandal’

Open Rights Group say digital documentation system is prone to data errors, system crashes and other glitches

Millions of migrants have been urged to register for a new eVisa scheme as campaigners warn the document could create a digital Windrush scandal.

The scheme, which will be introduced at the end of the year, is designed to replace physical biometric residence permits that show proof of the right to reside, rent, work and claim benefits with digital eVisas.
