EVisa - Online immigration status

UK Visa and Immigration (UKVI) have introduced a new digital immigration system. This means all physical documents are being replaced with an online record of your immigration status, known as an eVisa. 

Details can be found on the UK Government website Online immigration status (eVisa) page. 

You must create a UKVI account and be able provide your eVisa for in-person enrolment. 

Create your account

If you have a physical right to study document, such as a BRP card or sticker in your passport, you must use this document to set up your UKVI account and provide your eVisa.  For a step-by-step visual guide on setting up your UKVI account, please see the official UKVI video here.

Log in

To log in to your UKVI account, you will need details of the identity document you used to sign in (such as your passport, national identity card, or biometric residence card or permit), your date of birth, and access to the mobile number or email linked to your account.

View and prove your immigration status

After setting up your UKVI account, you can view your eVisa to check information about your Student Visa, including visa permission, its expiry and conditions such as work permission.

You will need to share your immigration status through the view and prove service by creating a share code. This code can be shared securely with third parties, such as Ravensbourne University London, and grants temporary access to your information on the UKVI system. A new share code is generated each time. Please ensure your share code is valid.
