No more 90-day Vignettes (stickers) for some main applicants from 15 July 2025
From 15 July, main applicants for the following visas will only get an eVisa (no 90-day vignette in their passport):
• Students (including short-term up to 11 months)
• Global Business Mobility
• Global Talent
• International Sportspersons
• Skilled Workers (including Health and Care)
• Temporary Workers
• Youth Mobility Scheme
Dependants and children will still get both a vignette (sticker) and an eVisa.
Simpler process for people with Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR/Settlement)
In response to stakeholder feedback, the Home Office simplified the process for getting an eVisa for people with ILR who still use an ink stamp or vignette in their passport.
They can still use their current ink stamp or vignette to prove your rights, including for travel. At the same time, they can benefit from the added security and convenience of an eVisa.
Expired BRPs or BRCs can be kept
People can keep their expired BRP or BRC for:
• personal records
• assisting future immigration applications
