An eVisa is an online record of:

your immigration status
the conditions of the type of permission you have to enter or stay in the UK

To get access to your eVisa you need to create a UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI) account.

Once you have access to your eVisa, you can sign in to your UKVI account to view your eVisa and prove your immigration status.

Using an eVisa does not affect your immigration status or the conditions for you to enter or stay in the UK.

If you have a physical immigration document, you can continue to use it until it expires.

Create a UKVI account to get access to your eVisa

To access your eVisa you must have permission to stay in the UK:

for longer than 6 months
which was granted in England, Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland (not the Channel Islands or Isle of Man)

You cannot get access to an eVisa if you:

have a visa for less than 6 months, such as a visitor visa
have anEU Settlement Scheme family permit
have anelectronic travel authorisation (ETA)
are exempt from immigration control, including if youre a diplomat or have right of abode

Start now

Before you start

Youll need to give a phone number and email address you can use again. Youll use them each time you prove your immigration status online.

Youll also need one of the following, if you have them:

a valid passport and your visa application number - this is a global web form (GWF) number or unique application number (UAN)
a valid passport and yourbiometric residence permit (BRP)number
yourBRPcard

If you do not use your passport to get access to your eVisa, youll need toupdate your UKVI account with your passport detailsbefore you can use your eVisa to travel to the UK.

If you have a valid passport or BRP, youll need access to a smartphone so that you can install an app to confirm your identity. If you do not have a valid passport or BRP, you will not need a smartphone.

Helping someone else

You can help someone else to create their UKVI account, for example, your child or someone who cannot use the internet.

You can manage their account for them if youre acting on their behalf, for example if you have power of attorney.
