View your eVisa and get a share code to prove your immigration status

Your eVisa shows your identity and immigration status. This includes what rights you have in the UK, for example to work, rent or claim benefits.

You can get a share code to prove your immigration status to people such as employers or landlords when you travel.

You can use your UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI) account to:

  • view your eVisa — your online UK immigration status
  • get a share code to prove your immigration status to others, such as employers or landlords
  • update your personal details
  • see your immigration history

You need to create a UKVI account if you do not have one. You can then link your eVisa to your account.

Report an error with your eVisa

You should check your eVisa details are correct. You can find your eVisa details by signing in to your UKVI account.

If your eVisa contains incorrect information — for example your name, nationality or conditions of stay — you should report the error.

You can report an error with your eVisa using the online form.

You'll need your:

  • full name
  • date of birth
  • nationality
  • UKVI account email address
  • reference number — this can be your GWF, HO, UAN or other Home Office reference number

Update your details

You can update your personal details in your UKVI account, such as your:

  • travel document — for example passport number or expiry date
  • email address
  • phone number

If you need to update your name, nationality or date of birth, you'll need to contact UK Visas and Immigration.

If you cannot view your eVisa

If you cannot view your eVisa, it might be because:

  • you do not have a UKVI account — you'll need to create one and link your eVisa
  • your eVisa has not been transferred to a UKVI account
  • there is a technical problem — try again later or contact UKVI
