Most people can now check their UK immigration status online by signing in to their UKVI account, viewing their eVisa and, where necessary, generating a share code. An eVisa is the online record of a person’s identity, immigration status and conditions, and a UKVI account is needed to access it. There is no fee to set up a UKVI account or access an eVisa.
In many cases, checking UK immigration status is straightforward. However, the position can become more complex where a person has an expired BRP, old evidence of indefinite leave, a pending application, section 3C leave, an eVisa error, a changed passport or an urgent need to travel.
In this post we explain how to check your UK immigration status online, how to generate a share code, what to do if your eVisa is wrong, and when it may be sensible to take legal advice.
