Overview

Webinar about how the digital immigration system works, how it fails, how the3million proposes to fix it and how you can get involved

At a time when the idea of a digital ID is being floated as an ingenious solution to illegal migration and working, let's explore how digital only immigration status already imposed on ten million people in the UK works, and fails, and look at its impact on people’s lives.

3Digital immigration status, eVisa, digital IDs are all to make our life easier and the government would have us believe they “cannot be broken, stolen or tampered with”.

However, lived experience of thousands of people shows the opposite as people are unable to access and prove their status due to internet or system outages, technical glitches, Home Office mistakes or digital exclusion.

The impact is more than statistics. It is human lives being suspended in a digital limbo, people losing job opportunities, unable to rent or travel.

This webinar will offer an opportunity to learn about how the digital immigration system works, how it fails, how the3million proposes to fix it and how you can get involved in FixTheDigitalStatus campaign.
