eVisas

UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI) have replaced most physical documents with an online record of your immigration status, also known as an eVisa.

If you've been asked by UKVI to create an account, either by email or in a decision letter, please following the instructions to set up your account and access your eVisa.

Once you've created your UKVI account, you'll need to link your eVisa to the account. You should then be able to sign in to the view and prove service to access your eVisa.
