What is an eVisa?

An eVisa is an online record of your immigration status and the conditions of your permission to enter or stay in the UK. You will need to create a UKVI account to access your eVisa.

Updating your physical document to an eVisa does not affect your immigration status or the conditions of your permission to enter or stay in the UK.

In the future, you’ll be able to use an eVisa to travel to the UK – you will not need to carry a physical document, except for your current passport, which must be registered to your UKVI account. Until the end of 2024, you will need to continue to carry your physical document when you travel, if you have one.

Benefits of eVisas

• they are secure and cannot be lost, stolen or tampered with, unlike a physical document
• you will not need to wait for, or collect, a physical document after your application is decided – you might still need to provide biometric information in person, and we will tell you if you need to do this
• it will be quicker and easier to prove your status at the UK border, and share your status with third parties like employers and landlords

An eVisa is a digital record of:

• your identity and immigration status – for example the type of visa you have or if you have indefinite leave to remain (settlement) in the UK
• the conditions of your status – for example if you’re allowed to work or study in the UK
