Our survey results suggest migrants have less certainty about their entitlements when immigration rules are complex.
At the time of the survey, people with EUSS statuses did this with a digital ‘eVisa’, while many non-EUSS status holders (e.g., people with a work or family visa) could show a physical document.
48% of digital-only respondents who encountered an issue cited the person checking their status not accepting the proof provided.
Older people were also less confident they could use a digital share code to prove their status.
This means most non-citizens will have a digital-only status from 2025.
