People who have been UK residents for decades are worried they could be 'locked out' of the country at the end of the year when eVisas come into force.

The scheme means many physical immigration documents such as biometric residence permits need to be replaced by online visas, which critics say do not work properly.

There is particular concern about the 200,000 people in the UK who have legacy documents proving their right to be in the country.
