Many unable to access eVisas to prove right to be in UK, Home Office admits

Campaigners say problems with digital transfer could affect hundreds of thousands of people on 10-year route' visas

The Home Office has admitted that many people who have the right to live and work in the UK cannot access their eVisas and provide proof that they are allowed to be in the country.

Human rights campaigners have said problems with accessing eVisas could lead to a scandal involving hundreds of thousands of people. Those affected are allowed to be in the UK but cannot show their right to work or rent a home.
