- A walk-through talk-through of how to set up and then update your eVisa. Links and further resources here: www.edgewaterl.... As ever, this is intended to help people with their applications in a general way, and is not intended to constitute legal advice.
Thank you very much for this step-by-step walkthrough. In particular, thank you for highlighting the optional role of a ‘helper’. Anything to do with visas is a stressful process, and having the option of someone else driving the process was a great relief.
Thank you very much for this good video. The government websites/emails do not provide clear details about the process and the video was very helpful.
As clear as mud:-) I dread doing this. My original visa is in my expired passport, although I do have a new passport, my BRP expires at the end of the month, thats going to complicate everything. Thanks for the assistance.
Thank you for uploading this video. I found the content really helpful.
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks brother for the detailed information 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Thanks this is a great video; I only started this process a couple of days ago from a paper residency document & passport stamp and recognise most of the steps you've shown. It's a very long winded process which seems to frequently request information already given in a previous answer. I'm waiting for an ID appointment at their local offices and guess that I will probably have to go through linking the e-VISA to a phone app once my status has been confirmed.
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for the video Nick!
No worries! Hope you’re good
Thanks for the update but however I would need some guidance to the evisa
Thank you very much for the update. However I am applying for the first time to visit the UK. Do I have to go through the same process, because I don't have a. Isa yet
Hi , I created my evisa with BRP(settle status) and identity document I used BRP only. BRP expired 31/12/2024. I m not able to view my passport details in my evisa and dont have option to add/update passport details. Personal details page is missing. I can see sign in and contact details only. I have travel plans in January. Please advise. Thank you.
I have done everything but I tried linking my babies eVisa but the name on her BRP is her full name but the name on the ID check app is abbreviation to her name. Please, what do I do?
hello, i submitted evisa application five days ago and i checked online status but they don,t show my evisa status. Even i contacted with immigration officer but not able to help me. please tell me what should i do now
Thank you very much it's very useful
Many thanks.
You are welcome!
Thank you so much for your time and explaining this process, however my Italian husband completed his ukvi account 2 years ago online due to Brexit. We recently went on my husband's account and certainly cannot see any link to the e-visa. Do we need to have this e-visa because the ukvi account we need to update if we have any changes i e, passport. I'm very good with technology and for the life of me cannot see this link in our current ukvi account. We have many European friends and they have the same problem, cannot see any link. Do we need to do this e-visa? Thank you
He will have created a UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI) account when he applied to the EU Settlement Scheme. He should be able to use his UKVI account credentials to sign in to the online View and Prove service on GOV.UK, where you can access your online immigration status information - this is called an eVisa.

Good Morning. Thank you so much for your reply, much appreciated! I must say these processes are not very easy or clear from the British government.
Anyway, that's good news.
Buon Natale to you and family.
My case is similar but i have my pre settled status via marriage which means that I don't have an EU passport. I'm flying back tomorrow to the UK and I'll let you know if my UKVI and prove status is enough.
Please, what if my name in BRP is different from my name in ID check App? That is my full name in BRP but abbreviation on ID check App? What would I do?
Hi! Can you please help..after compeleting my identity the next step where its asked for brp or Application no..i am putting the UAN written in the email for confirming our visa..but whenever we tried to enter it..ut says Application no cannot be found. Can you help?
Hello, thank you for the video! I have a question. I am currently outside the UK on holiday and trying to register for the eVisa. I will return to the UK after January 1st, 2025, which means my physical BRP will have expired by then, like everyone else’s.
My question is about the 'Your location' section in '1. Identity and contact,' where it asks: "Are you in the UK now?" Does this refer to whether I am currently based in the UK or physically present in the UK? I live in the UK, but I am outside the UK for a month on holiday.
In this case, should I answer "Yes, I am in the UK," or "No, I am outside the UK"?
My wife used her BRP instead of her passport. She is travelling to China in the new year. Is her passport automatically linked to her eVisa?
Hi,
I have extended my dependent visa in November mid 2024. After 2 days I have received a mail from home office that my application has been approved and I can stay upto 14 December 2026. After received this mail I checked my UKVI account to access my e-visa. There I'm able to see my visa status except my photo. When I try to take my share code - right to work, right to rent and prove immigration status it's showing a message like this we cannot show your details.
Could you please reply why this technical error happened?
Thank-you
How long after the application is the eVISA available?
Where did the QR code come from when you linked your ID check?
What to do if you connect to the app but app do not take you to scan documents because something didn't work
I have created an account but when i sign in it says I have no recent application and there is no link for my passport???
I'm having the same problem
I have ILR BRP . I set up evisa .but on my account they say it is not able to view. When I enquiry about it they replied it is already linked ..
Also my ILR expiring in march 2025. How to apply for NT ILR
Have you figured out what was wrong I am having the same issue
Hi can I travel to France with my indefinite leave to remain visa in my passport
But what if I don't have a BRP(biometric residence card) but a BRC(biometric residence card), and these instructions don't work?
Hi, how to access my evisa on my apps?

Tkx ❤
Im European with settlements indefinite remain visa. I need still to set up EVISA?
Thanks

For me it said do not match identity I don't know
hello , could you please help as i don’t know how to access e visa if my BRP has been lost or stolen
I can see my E-Visa through the "view and prove" service without having to link my eVisa to my account, is this normal?
What is the difference between BRP and BRC??
How long did it take for the evisa to become visible for viewing?
For us it took about few hours. But I have heard that it has been taking (much) longer than this for others
@@edgewaterlegal8228 It's visible now and it took about an hour or so. Thank you so much for this video, it really helped made things easier.
No worries- it’s a fiddly process. Pls like subscribe etc if you can and share so others get to see it
Hi, what if the BRP expired and I was using it to login to my evisa and I have applied for ILR and waiting for the decision, how I will be able to login when I have my ILR successful ! Thank you
I setup my ukvi account. Did not ask for my uan number from the email. I only had a passport with vignette in it when I applied for my ntl. I can see my name, nationality, status and d.o.b, but not photo and no way of clicking the link evisa. I'm stuck and don't know who to email 😢
Do people with settled status need to apply for evisa
If you are referring to those with settled status granted under the EU Settlement Scheme, then no - those people should generally already have an eVisa. See www.gov.uk/government/publications/view-and-prove-your-immigration-status-evisa/your-immigration-status-an-introduction-for-eu-eea-and-swiss-citizens-accessible-version
I'm EU citizen with settled status, got e-mail from the government yesterday, asking me to do it. 😱😮😳
Yes I had clients getting in touch about this - the email is confusing and I have raised this with the 3 million.

@@edgewaterlegal8228 same with me It's very confusing. I also received an email from GOV.UK saying that I should apply for a UKVI. Should we still apply or not?
@@irianaoliveira9186 If you have gone through the EUSS scheme, you would have already have a UKVI account that is AUTOMATICALLY linked to the eVisa which contains your settled/pre-settled info. Nothing needs to be done,just make sure your passport details are up to date.
Excuse me how can I use evisa to booking life in the Uk?
Do people with pre settled status need to apply for evisa? Please answer me!

nope
Do I need eVisa if I have BRC under eu scheme? With pre-settled status
Take a look here: www.gov.uk/government/publications/view-and-prove-your-immigration-status-evisa/your-immigration-status-an-introduction-for-eu-eea-and-swiss-citizens-accessible-version
Hello, can I create an e-Visa account and my brp card has been expired for 3 months ago?
Does EUSS holders need to apply??
No - those people should generally already have an a status that they can access and view online (i.e. an eVisa). See www.gov.uk/government/publications/view-and-prove-your-immigration-status-evisa/your-immigration-status-an-introduction-for-eu-eea-and-swiss-citizens-accessible-version
Looks like we have to. I got an e-mail from gov.uk yesterday. WTAF? Have you received their e-mail too?

I have the same question
@@thusharalalu3305 DID YOU KNOW WHERE IS QR COD?
My visa is no expiration do i need to apply eVisa?

I already have an UKVI account do i have to do anything?
This is exactly my question...I am going to try the chat on government page on Monday. It is all so confusing.
Did you get your UKVI account as part of an application under the EU Settlement Scheme?
@@MJ-vy2uq I talked to the government and they told me s UKVI account and evisa are the same thing. You just have to link your passport to your UKVI account and you are good, thats all. Dont listen to these clowns that make these useless youtube videos
@@kingnevermore25the problem is there isn’t any link in the account 😅😅😅 I also. Created an account but no link in it
@ Just make sure to add a passport in your documents section and that will be your evisa
I got my email to setup my ukvi. I put in everything but not asked for my uan number. I can see the immigration status my name, nationality, d.o.b., status and a box for my photo but no link for link to evisa as you showed. Im lost and not know who to email . I only had a passport with vignette sticker. Can you help 😢
Hi there, sorry I can't, but if you are still having issues there are currently 3 routes to resolve them:
- Webchat (ukimmigration-support-webchat.homeoffice.gov.uk/evisa) - this is for low level issues
- Resolution centre helpline - this is largely for technical IT issues. UKVI Resolution Centre's helpline for eVisas is +44 (0) 300 790 6268. You can also call +44 (0)203 875 4669 if you can't dial 0300 numbers. If issues are more complex they will fill the webform instead.
- Webform (www.gov.uk/report-error-evisa) - this is the main channel now to report any issues, including eVisas not showing the correct details, no photo, etc. It says: On receipt of the form, customers will be automatically notified that they can expect a response within 10 working days, and they will receive a further email notification when the error or issue has been resolved.
I am also in the exactly same situation. My ILR is a vignette sticker in my passport. I have received the NTL endorsement and confirmation of UKVI account setup. I have checked my status in UKVI account. It shows Name, DOB, Nationality and status. However there is no photo. I also was not asked my UAN number. I'm trying to find the way how can I complete and to link to my passport ?
@@エルムグローブ contact the home office. go through to where your waiting about word on your visa application not new one. tell the staff you have ILR and when you got it and a vignette sticker that your NTL was successful but in your UKVI account you cannot see your photo and link the evisa to your account after following the email. a guy guided me over the phone to seeing the link like in this video which is for BRPs. when you see the link you will see about the application number. put your UAN number in there as your completing it. but you will need the homeoffice app too because you will need to take a photo of the passport, scan the chip and photo of you. i hope this helps cause i cant remember all, but the home office can help to guide too.

👍
Scan your BRP/ Passport chip on the top of your device (on the screen) touching the chip. Far more accurate than the instructions provided
My goodness that's difficult, imagine older people will struggle.
My wife has applied for British citizenship but problems with getting a certificate in her British married name. She's Italian and Italian women don't take their husbands surname.
Hi, I need your advise on my immigration matter. My Global Talent visa in the UK expires April 1st, 2025. My wedding is in February 2025, and my return to the UK is scheduled for March 3rd, 2025. Will this itinerary present any immigration re-entry challenges? My employment is confirmed until October 31st, 2026, and I intend to submit a visa extension application immediately after my arrival in UK.
Can’t give advice on your case in the UA-cam comments section
