In a statement, the commission said most main Pakistani applicants travelling to the UK on study or work-related visas will no longer need a physical sticker visa in passports from July 15.

"The UK Government is replacing physical immigration documents for most student and worker visas with a digital proof of immigration status, an eVisa," it added.

An eVisa is an online record of a person's immigration permission in the UK, and any conditions which apply, which can be viewed by creating and accessing an online UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI) account.
