Visa to the UK
As a document that allows legal entry and stay in the UK, a visa is essential for many people. Without a valid visa, there are many serious legal and administrative consequences. Due to Brexit, as of October 1, 2021, a passport is also required to enter the UK. Only those with settled status in the UK can continue to use an ID card.
