Home Office Future Border & Immigration Systems - sPCR Engagement Event

[wonkywinch]

Dear WonkyWinch The Home Office is developing a border and immigration system which is digital by default. Our transformation is already underway with millions of people experiencing a fully digital process when applying to come to the UK; crossing the UK border; proving their identity and immigration status and demonstrating their entitlements in the UK. Using a phased approach to implementing digital services, our aim is that by 2025 most customers will have a secure and seamless digital journey when they interact with the UK’s immigration system. Over time this will see physical and paper-based products and services replaced with accessible, straightforward online and digital services. We would like to invite you to our upcoming engagement event on Friday 30th August at 13:00 – 14:00. This event is available for all skippers, operators and agents who are interested in the topics listed below. This event will provide: A brief overview about the Home Office’ digital vision and Universal Permission to Travel requirement An overview of eVisas and rollout plan Digital Permission Checks How passengers can prove their immigration status Opportunity to ask any questions you may have Please sign up to the event via the link below: Home Office Webinar Link If you have any queries, please do reach out to: uptqueries@homeoffice.gov.uk We look forward to welcoming you to the event.

Good to see ‘them’ consulting. I received the same e mail. Maybe contacting all active users, of the current e system? Good on the Home Office.

Just got this too, won’t be able to attend but great to see them engaging.
I actually think the system as implemented is quite good (if one starts with an assumption that it’s necessary or effective). It needs some fairly obvious refinements, a bit more feedback after submission would be nice and the date boxes are going to drive people to madness unless changed but otherwise it’s been a step forwards.

This isn't a consultation, it's a repeat of the webinar they gave to RYA clubs earlier in the year. Well worth going.
