FAQ

I have physical proof of my UK immigration status, but it has an expiry date of 31 December 2024. I’ve been told I cannot renew it - what will happen after 2024? How will I be able to travel?

Over the course of 2024, everyone who currently has a physical proof of status will be asked to create a UKVI account so that they can see their immigration status online - also known as an eVisa. See this Gov.UK webpage for more information.

From 2025, everyone’s immigration status will be checked automatically when you check-in for your journey to the UK.

This means it is crucial that you keep your eVisa updated with your travel document (passport or national identity card - but see our FAQ I have (pre-) settled status. Can I use my EU national identity card to enter the UK? for important information about use of national identity cards after 31 December 2025.)
