Get access to your eVisa
An eVisa is an online record of your immigration status.
To get access to your eVisa, you'll need to create a UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI) account.
Who can use this service
You can use this service if the Home Office has emailed you about how to get access to your eVisa.
If you've not been contacted by the Home Office, you do not need to do anything yet. You'll be able to set up access to your eVisa later in 2026.
There is more information about when eVisas are being introduced and what they're replacing.
What you need to do
You will be asked to:
- create a UKVI account
- confirm your identity using the 'UK Immigration ID Check' app
- provide a BRP number
This information will be used to link your eVisa to your UKVI account. You'll get an email when you can access your eVisa in your account.
Before you start
You will need:
- an email address and phone number
- access to a smartphone
- your BRP card (or a passport and your BRP number)
