I have UK immigration status (visa, EU Settlement Scheme (EUSS) status or an expired biometric residence permit) is there anything I need to do before I travel?

If you have UK immigration status (visa, EUSS status or an expired biometric residence permit):

Access your eVisa before you travel and verify your details at GOV.UK eVisa
Keep your UK Visas & immigration (UKVI) account updated: Ensure your personal details and current passport information are correct to avoid delays
EU Settlement Scheme holders: Check your details are correct and link your valid passport to your UKVI account before travelling to the UK
New passport or ID? Update your UKVI account immediately at GOV.UK

Important: Starting early 2026, travellers to UK without linked current travel documents may be refused travel or experience delays at UK borders.
