What is an eVisa?
An eVisa is a digital record of your immigration status in the UK. The UK government provides a digital service for checking and proving your immigration status. This system, known as the eVisa, simplifies the process for individuals to view and share their immigration status information.
Instead of a physical document, your status is stored electronically and can be accessed online. This provides a convenient and secure way for you to prove your right to live, work, and study in the UK. eVisa will start from 1st Jan 2025. UKVI Visa will no longer on BRP card any more.
