The eVisa provides a digital record of an individual’s identity, immigration status and the conditions attached to their permission to enter or remain in the UK.
To access the document, applicants must first obtain approval for their UK visa and create a UKVI account through the official government portal.
The process requires users to provide an email address, phone number and relevant identification details, including a valid passport and visa application reference number, where applicable.
After creating the account, applicants must verify their identity and link their immigration status to the account before they can view their eVisa.
The UK government says setting up a UKVI account and accessing an eVisa are free. Users can also generate a share code to confirm their immigration status when required.
Travellers are advised to ensure their passport details are correctly updated in their UKVI accounts before travelling.
The transition is part of the UK’s broader effort to digitise its immigration system, reduce reliance on physical documents and make immigration status easier to access and verify.
