eVisa

From January 2025 the UK government is now issuing your student visa in the form of an eVisas, this means instead of having a physical document you will now be able to access your immigration status online through your UKVI account.

As of mid-July 2025, the intention of UK Visa and Immigration is to remove entry vignettes for all student visa holders so your eVisa will be the only evidence you will require to prove your UK immigration status at the border or to other parties such as the University, employers or landlords.

This page will explain:

  • How to access your eVisa?
  • How to create an UKVI account?
  • What a sharecode is and how to get access to it
  • How to report an error
  • How to travel with your eVisa

You can access your eVisa through your smartphone, laptop/iPad or computer device.

You MUST create a UKVI account first to gain access to your eVisa.
