Get eVisa support

What are eVisas?

The Home Office is moving to an entirely digital visa scheme, so existing visa documents will be converted into eVisas.

Physical immigration documents including

• biometric residence permits (BRP)
• biometric residence cards (BRC)
• passport endorsements, such as indefinite leave to enter wet ink stamps
• vignette stickers in passports, such as entry clearance or visa vignettes

all expire on 31 December 2024, but that does not mean status expires! Individuals holding visas must create a UKVI account in order to get access to their documentation. We encourage you make the transition as soon as possible.

Who do we support?

Our eVisa advice drop-in is open to all people seeking support on the new digital visa scheme. We have a dedicated team of staff and volunteers that help individuals register for, access, and navigate their eVisas.
