Sounds like another case of US tech companies fucking with the web of EU regulations to nobody's benefit but their own.

It's no wonder they moved to another tax haven. Sorry, sorry. The EU doesn't have tax havens according to their own rules. Low tax threshold geographic jurisdictions.

They're not talking about Maths. They're talking about wealth.

Oh that makes sense. I think I last used Amarok 20 years ago.

I don’t quite understand why you are dismissing this person’s concerns like this. The codes are available for a very short period so there is a chance that if there is a WiFi or other network outage they genuinely could not get to the code.

Because this isn't the case. They're pretending that they can only get a code when they land in the UK and there's a very real risk that they will be without internet when they've reached the immigration desk. This is BS.

The code is valid for 30-90 days. You're telling me that within 30-90 days of travelling to the UK you can't generate a code and save it or write it down? Seriously?

Here's some googling you might not have done (or OP for that matter).

https://www.gov.uk/check-immigration-status

https://www.citizensadvice.org.uk/immigration/applying-to-the-eu-settlement-scheme/viewing-your-pre-settled-or-settled-status/

https://www.york.ac.uk/students/support/international/immigration/immigration-status/

And it's not like they are complicated codes that is difficult to write down. They look similar to this: S4WADTYWF.

I agree that it is hard to put faith in a system like this where your immigration status relies on the availability of a network

When faced with new facts would you change your mind? I didn't think so.

If border control pulls me aside and demands my proof of residency, and I can't access the internet, I may be stuck in a small room for hours or days,

How likely are you to not be able to access the internet at a UK border you might be traveling through? Seriously.

Also, have you heard of a download for offline usage?
