US likely to launch digital visa; check how these are different from e-visa

In a recent revelation, the United States has signaled its intention to introduce digital visas, a departure from the conventional practice of stamping or pasting visa details on passport pages. This decision comes in the wake of the successful completion of a pilot project for “paperless visas” conducted at the U.S. diplomatic mission in Dublin. It’s crucial to note, however, that U.S. digital visas should not be conflated with e-visas, as officials emphasize substantial differences in their features.

Julie Stufft, the Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Visa Services, shed light on the matter. She clarified that the visa application process remains consistent until the point where a physical visa would typically be issued. In the case of paperless visas, there is no physical representation in the passport. Notably, the U.S. process still mandates an interview, particularly for first-time applicants.

The practical implementation of paperless visas is anticipated to span approximately 18 months before achieving widespread usage. The advantages of this transition include the ability for visa holders to retain their passports without the need for a physical visa page. Moreover, this shift is expected to mitigate challenges related to mailing documents, offering significant benefits to both visa applicants and the authorities involved.
