Mr Keir Starmer, Prime Minister of the United Kingdom
Succinct answer, no.
A Nigerian citizen with a valid 10-year UK visa does not need to obtain an eVisa to enter the UK. They can continue to use their existing visa in their passport for travel and entry into the UK.
An eVisa is an online record of your immigration status, and while it can be obtained to replace a physical document, it is not mandatory for those with valid visas.
A 10-year UK visa, like any valid visa, allows a Nigerian citizen to enter and stay in the UK for the duration and purpose specified on the visa.
An eVisa is a digital alternative to a physical visa or other immigration documents. It’s a way to have an online record of your immigration status, but it doesn’t replace a valid visa.
If the visa is in an old or expired passport, or if the visa holder wants a digital record, they can choose to apply for an eVisa to replace their physical document.
