UK to replace visa stickers with eVisas for Nigerians from Feb 25
The United Kingdom has announced a major shift in its immigration process for Nigerian travellers, confirming that it will discontinue the issuance of physical visa stickers and replace them entirely with digital eVisas from February 25, 2026.
The policy change, disclosed in Abuja by UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI), means that all new UK Visit visas issued to Nigerian nationals will now exist solely in electronic form.
The move is part of the UK government’s broader transition to a fully digital border and immigration management system.
