	question text	To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the merits of introducing a new youth-group digital visa application process for those under the age of 18 wishing to visit the UK.
	tabling member printed	Lord Aberdare
	uin	HL10440
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/10/2023 answer text <p>There are no current plans to introduce a youth-group visa application process specifically for those aged under 18. <br> <br> Separately, as part of an overall agreement on migration reached with France during the March summit between the Prime Minister and the French President, we have committed to easing travel between our two countries for schoolchildren on organised trips. Work is now under way to operationalise these arrangements.</p><p>The Home Office is also developing a border and immigration system which is “digital by default”.</p><p>This will see physical and paper-based products and services replaced with accessible, easy to use online and digital services. This will provide applicants with an easy online application process, including providing biometrics and establishing or verifying identity using their smartphones.</p><p>The transition towards eVisas is already underway, with millions of customers already receiving digital evidence of their immigration permission and using this to enter and live in the UK.</p><p><br> This will be supported by clearer, accessible guidance and content on gov.uk making it simpler and more intuitive for people to understand if they are eligible for a visa, what steps they need to take to apply and, if granted, the conditions of their stay in the UK.</p> answering member printed Lord Murray of Blidworth question first answered 16/10/2023 16:17:40 answering member 4950 label Biography information for Lord Murray of Blidworth

	uin	HL13036
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/02/2021 answer text <p>The Permitted Paid Engagement visitor route allows professionals in several sectors, including musicians, to enter the UK for up to one month to undertake permitted paid engagements, where they have been invited by a UK-based organisation and without the need to apply through the sponsored work routes.</p><p>Whilst there is no formal limit on how many times a visitor can enter the UK under this route, decision makers will consider whether any repeat use is for temporary work; the applicant’s main place of employment is overseas and they do not intend to live in the UK through frequent or successive visits.</p> answering member printed Baroness Williams of Trafford question first answered 22/02/2021 17:05:56 answering member 4311 label Biography information for Baroness Williams of Trafford
