An eVisa is an online record of your immigration status and the conditions of the type of permission you have to enter or stay in the UK. To get access to your eVisa, you need to create a UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI) account. Once you have access to your eVisa, you can sign in to your UKVI account to view your eVisa and prove your immigration status.
Using an eVisa does not affect your immigration status or the conditions for you to enter or stay in the UK. If you have a physical immigration document, you can continue to use it until it expires.
