US to roll out ‘paperless visa’ soon as it successfully completes pilot program

US visas stamped or pasted on passport pages of applicants could soon be a thing of the past as the Biden administration has successfully completed a pilot project for issuing “paperless visa”, according to an official.

The United States recently completed the small-scale programme at its diplomatic mission in Dublin and it plans to gradually roll it out.

“We did our first small scope pilot of a paperless visa, which means that the visa process is the same but there’s no physical visa in someone’s passport.
