“The e-Visa is set to replace documentation with computation. Status holders will no longer get a token they can hold on to, like a passport sticker or a biometric card. Instead, they will rely on algorithmic logics to generate online status from various records dispersed in multiple databases. Our research shows this design is prone to glitching."
