What is an eVisa and what do I need to do?

UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI) is currently replacing physical immigration documents with an online record of your immigration status. This is known as an eVisa. 

What you need to do: 

• If your BRP card expires on or before 31 December 2024, you must create a UKVI account before your BRP card expires to access your eVisa. 
• Ensure your current passport is linked to your UKVI account before travelling outside the UK. 

Need help? 

• For further information on how to create your UKVI account, please go to www.gov.uk/evisa. 

• If you need assistance accessing your eVisa, email the Visa Support Team at compliance@ncl.ac.uk.
