The UK government has introduced electronic visas for Pakistani students and long‑term workers (over six months), replacing physical stickers. This initiative accompanies the new Trade Dialogue Mechanism and Business Advisory Council with Pakistan. E‑visas simplify travel by linking online immigration status to passports; other visa types still need physical documentation.
The UK has rolled out e‑visas for Pakistani students and workers on stays exceeding six months, part of its transition to an all‑digital immigration system. This move aligns with strengthened bilateral trade ties. Applicants link passports to UKVI online, while visitor visas continue requiring physical documentation.
