The British High Commission in Dhaka has issued a new notification for Bangladeshi citizens planning to travel to the United Kingdom. Starting February 25, the UK visa process will operate under a new digital system.

The announcement, made on Saturday (February 7), highlights a major shift in how travel authorizations are issued.

According to the High Commission, the UK immigration system is transitioning to a fully digital framework. Key points include:

Launch Date: The new system will be effective from February 25, 2026.
Digital Only: Travelers requiring a visa for the UK will now receive an eVisa instead of a physical document.
