More nationalities using ePassport gates
UK and EU nationals with a chipped passport have long been able to use the ePassport gates to enter the UK. Since 20 May 2019, visitors from Australia, Canada, Japan, New Zealand, Singapore, South Korea and the US have also been allowed to use ePassport gates. This is designed to speed up the entry process for nationals of countries which are deemed to be low-risk.
English language tests
The list of approved English language tests and providers has been updated. Before booking a test to support a UK visa application, migrants should check this list to ensure their test is approved.
