eVisa 電郵：「Your UKVI account and eVisa」解析

 

最近，許多移民到英國的朋友都收到了一封來自英國簽證及移民局（UKVI）的電郵，內容提到英國的邊境及移民系統正在逐步邁向數碼化，實體居留證將被電子簽證（eVisa）取代。這封電郵可能讓大家感到疑惑或擔心，不知道這對自己的移民身份或旅行安排有什麼影響。為了幫助大家了解這次變更的重要性及如何應對，我們特別整理了這篇文章。

📩 為什麼你會收到這封電郵？

你收到這封電郵是因為你已經擁有 UKVI 帳戶，或者你已開始但尚未完成 UKVI 帳戶的創建。

如果你尚未完成 UKVI 帳戶的創建

你應該在你的生物識別居留許可（BRP）到期之前，盡快完成 UKVI 帳戶的創建，並將其連結到你的 eVisa。有關創建 UKVI 帳戶以訪問 eVisa 的資訊和指引，可參考：https://www.gov.uk/eVisa。

如果你有孩子或受扶養人需要創建 UKVI 帳戶，請在他們的 BRP 到期之前，盡快開始創建帳戶的流程。有關為孩子創建 UKVI 帳戶的資訊以及相關支持詳情，請參考：https://www.gov.uk/eVisa。

如果你已經擁有 UKVI 帳戶

你無需創建另一個 UKVI 帳戶即可訪問你的 eVisa。

如需更多有關 eVisa 及此更改如何影響你的資訊，請訪問：https://www.gov.uk/eVisa。如果你持有生物識別居留許可（BRP）或生物識別居留卡（BRC），即使它已過期，你仍應將其妥善保管。

訪問你的 UKVI 帳戶和 eVisa

如果你尚未查看過你的 eVisa，你可以前往以下網站進行查閱：https://www.gov.uk/view-prove-immigration-status

你將需要以下資訊：

• 用於登錄 UKVI 帳戶的身份文件詳情（例如你的護照、國民身份證或生物識別居留卡或許可）
• 你的出生日期
• 你用於登錄 UKVI 帳戶的手機號碼或電子郵件地址的訪問權限——你將會收到用於登錄的驗證碼。

使用 eVisa 進行旅行

當你進行國際旅行時，eVisa 將用於確認你進入英國的權利。在旅行前，務必確認你當前的護照或旅行文件已經連結到你的 eVisa，以避免不必要的延誤。

你可以在以下網站檢查與 eVisa 連結的旅行文件並進行更新（如有需要）：
https://www.gov.uk/update-uk-visas-immigration-account-details/update-your-ukvi-account

每次護照或旅行文件資訊變更時，都需要更新，以免影響旅行計劃。

雖然運輸公司應該能夠自動檢查你的 eVisa，但在過渡到 eVisa 系統期間，你可能仍需出示移民身份的證明。因此，建議提前生成一個分享碼（Share Code）並隨身攜帶。你可以打印、抄寫或以其他方式存儲分享碼，以便在需要時提供。分享碼有效期為 90 天，因此可以提前創建。

在 eVisa 過渡期間，為支持旅行並提供更多保障，運輸公司可能接受於 2024 年 12 月 31 日或之後到期的 BRP 或 EUSS BRC 作為進入英國的許可證明，這一安排暫定延續至 2025 年 3 月底，但前提是你的移民身份仍然有效。在旅行時，請攜帶過期的 BRP 或過期的 EUSS BRC。EUSS BRC 是指通過成功申請歐盟定居計劃（EUSS）後發出的居留卡。

如果你不再持有 BRP 或 EUSS BRC，或者未曾獲發這些文件，你的旅行許可將通過其他方式檢查。

保持 UKVI 帳戶資訊最新

保持你的 UKVI 帳戶個人資訊最新非常重要。可通過以下網站進行更新：
https://www.gov.uk/update-uk-visas-immigration-account-details/update-your-ukvi-account

這樣可以確保你：

• 使用當前的護照或身份文件旅行，避免國際旅行時出現不必要的延誤。
• 向其他人（如僱主或房東）查閱及證明你的權利。
• 接收來自 UKVI 的聯繫，例如等待決定或文件退還時。

如果你更新姓名、出生日期或國籍，也需要提供新資料的身份文件作為證明。

你可以更新的個人資料包括：

• 身份文件（例如護照或國民身份證）
• 電話號碼
• 電子郵件地址
• 姓名
• 住址
• 郵寄地址

生成分享碼

使用 eVisa，你可以生成一個分享碼來證明你的移民身份。更多資訊可參考：
https://www.gov.uk/view-prove-immigration-status

生成分享碼後，你可以用來：

• 證明你的工作權利。
• 證明你在英格蘭的租房權利。
• 證明你的身份或其他移民相關情況。

恢復你的 UKVI 帳戶

如果你已擁有 UKVI 帳戶但需要重新獲取訪問權限，請使用以下在線帳戶恢復服務：
https://update-your-details.homeoffice.gov.uk/account-recovery/help

英國公民

如果你是英國公民，請忽略此電郵；你無需 UKVI 帳戶。如需出國旅行，請申請英國公民護照或在你的外國護照上申請居留權證書（Certificate of Entitlement）。如果你是持愛爾蘭護照的愛爾蘭公民，也可以忽略此電郵。

電子旅行授權（ETA）

如果你擁有電子旅行授權（ETA），請忽略此電郵；你無需 UKVI 帳戶。更多資訊可參考：
https://www.gov.uk/electronic-travel-authorisation

取消、縮短、過期或被撤銷的移民許可

即使你的移民許可已被取消、縮短、過期或撤銷，你仍保留一個 UKVI 帳戶，但其將顯示你目前沒有移民身份。

如果你持有歐盟定居計劃（EUSS）下的臨時居留身份或定居身份（pre-settled status 或 settled status），即使身份被縮短或撤銷，你仍可在申訴期間或申訴待決期間查看及分享你的狀態。

若你未來獲得新的移民許可，該身份將顯示於你現有的 UKVI 帳戶中。

Title: Your UKVI account and eVisa

Dear Sir/Madam,

We are contacting you because the UK border and immigration system is becoming digital. You may have seen that we are replacing physical documents with an online record of your immigration status; this is known as an eVisa and is accessed via a UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI) account.

You are receiving this email as you already have a UKVI account, or you have started but not yet completed the creation of your UKVI account.

If you are a legal representative or advisor, we would be grateful if you could communicate this information to your clients where possible.

If you have not yet completed the creation of your UKVI account

You should complete the creation of your UKVI account and link it to your eVisa as soon as possible before your biometric residence permit (BRP) expires. Information and guidance on creating a UKVI account to access your eVisa is available at https://www.gov.uk/eVisa.

If you have children or dependants who you need to create a UKVI account for, start the account creation process as soon as possible before their BRPs expire. Information on UKVI accounts for children is available at https://www.gov.uk/eVisa, along with details of available support.

If you already have a UKVI account

You do not need to create another UKVI account to get access to your eVisa

For more information about eVisas and how this change will affect you, go to https://www.gov.uk/eVisa. If you hold a biometric residence permit or biometric residence card (BRC) then you should keep this somewhere safe, even after it has expired.

Accessing your UKVI account and eVisa

If you have not already viewed your eVisa, you can do this at https://www.gov.uk/view-prove-immigration-status

You will need:

Details of the identity document you use to sign in to your  UKVI account (your passport, national identity card, or biometric residence card or permit) Your date of birth Access to the mobile number or email address you use to sign in to your UKVI account – you’ll be sent a code for signing in

Travelling with your eVisa

Your eVisa will be used to confirm your right to travel to the UK if you travel internationally. It is essential that you check your current passport or travel document is linked to your eVisa before you travel internationally. This is to ensure you do not encounter unnecessary delays.

You can check the travel document linked to your eVisa and update it if required at https://www.gov.uk/update-uk-visas-immigration-account-details/update-your-ukvi-account

You need to update your passport or travel document information every time it changes to avoid travel delays.

While carriers should be able to check your eVisa automatically, you may still be asked to show evidence of your immigration status as we transition to eVisas. You may therefore find it helpful to create a share code in advance of travel and carry it with you. You can then print, write down or otherwise store the share code to be able to provide it when needed. A share code is valid for 90 days so can be created in advance of travel.

To support travel and provide further reassurance during the transition to eVisas, carriers may accept a BRP or EUSS BRC which expires on or after 31st December 2024 as evidence of permission to travel to the UK, provisionally until the end of March 2025, where you continue to have valid immigration status. You should carry your expired BRP or expired EUSS BRC with you when you travel. An EUSS BRC is a BRC that was issued following a successful application to the EU Settlement Scheme.

If you no longer have a BRP or EUSS BRC or were not issued with one, your permission to travel will be checked through other means.

Keep your UKVI account up to date.

It’s important to keep your UKVI account personal details up to date at https://www.gov.uk/update-uk-visas-immigration-account-details/update-your-ukvi-account so you can:

Travel with your current passport or identity document and avoid unnecessary delays when travelling internationally.

View and prove your rights to others, for example employers or landlords. Be contacted by UKVI, for example if you’re waiting for a decision or to have documents returned.

If you’re updating your name, date of birth or nationality, you will also need an identity document proving your new details.

You can update personal details including:

Identity document – such as your passport or national identity card Phone number Email address Name Home address Postal address

Get a share code

Using your eVisa, you can generate a share-code to confirm your immigration status. Information on how to do this is available at https://www.gov.uk/view-prove-immigration-status

With a share code you will be able to:

Prove your right to work. Prove your right to rent in England. Prove your identity or immigration status for anything else.

Recover your UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI) account

If you have an existing UKVI account and need to regain access, use the online account recovery service available here: https://update-your-details.homeoffice.gov.uk/account-recovery/help.

If you are British Citizen

Ignore this email if you are a British citizen; you do not need a UKVI account if you are a British citizen. If you need to travel overseas you should either obtain a British citizen passport or a certificate of entitlement for the right of abode that is fixed to your foreign passport. You can also ignore this if you are an Irish citizen who travels using an Irish passport.

ETA (Electronic Travel Authorisation)

Ignore this email If you have an ETA; you do not need a UKVI account if you have an ETA. For more information go to https://www.gov.uk/electronic-travel-authorisation

Cancelled curtailed, expired or revoked immigration permission

You still have a UKVI account if your permission to enter or stay in the UK has been cancelled, curtailed, expired, or revoked; though it will show you do not have an immigration status.

If you have pre-settled status or settled status under the EUSS and it is curtailed or revoked, you will still be able to view and share your status during the period in which you can appeal or while an appeal is pending.

If you are granted immigration permission in the future, your new status will be visible through your existing UKVI account.
