Seema Malhotra stated, 'I have heard a range of concerns... that the move to eVisas might negatively impact the vulnerable and elderly... I have therefore brought in changes to reflect these concerns.' This indicates the government's responsiveness to the issues raised by communities regarding the new digital immigration system.
Home Office insiders noted, 'hundreds of UK residents have struggled to access the system from abroad and so cannot return to their homes.' This highlights the accessibility issues within the eVisa system, impacting citizens’ ability to return home.
Malhotra expressed, 'For migrant communities, there is the real fear of something going wrong with Home Office systems and the ongoing impact when it does.' This statement emphasizes the anxiety within migrant communities over the potential failures of the immigration system.
In response to these challenges, Malhotra announced, 'working with airlines to allow biometric residence permits... accepted as valid evidence of permission to travel until 31 March 2025.' This reflects the government's measures to alleviate travel concerns.
