>Phil O'Sophical If it's anything like the electronic visa systems used by other countries today (US, Canada, India, etc) it will be detected before you get on your plane/boat.
In the case of the US, are you confusing visas with their electronic travel authorisation system for visa free travel? In most cases a "visa" still means sending off your passport and getting a visa put in it.
Be careful, there are brextremist commentards who also get visa free travel confused with EU freedom of movement. So double confusion could occur!
