1. Understanding the UK eVisa | 了解英国电子签证
The UK eVisa is a digital record of your immigration status. It replaces physical documents such as Biometric Residence Permits (BRP), Biometric Residence Cards (BRC), and passport visa vignettes. All individuals who hold valid permissions to stay in the UK are expected to transition to an eVisa by 31 December 2024. The eVisa is securely stored online and linked to your UKVI account, making it easier to prove your rights to work, rent, and access public services. It also reduces the risk of document loss, theft, or forgery.
英国电子签证(eVisa)是您移民身份的数字记录。它取代了生物信息居留许可卡(BRP)、生物信息居留卡(BRC)以及护照上的签证贴纸等实体证件。所有持有有效在英居留许可的个人均须在2024年12月31日前转为eVisa。eVisa安全地在线存储并与您的UKVI账户关联,使您能够更便捷地证明工作权、租房权及获取公共服务,同时降低证件丢失、被盗或伪造的风险。

2. Preparing Before You Apply | 申请前的准备工作
Before you start, ensure you have access to the following: a smartphone with near-field communication (NFC) capability (for the ‘UK Immigration: ID Check’ app), a valid email address, your mobile phone number, your current BRP card or visa vignette details, and your passport. It is also recommended to have a stable internet connection and good lighting for the identity verification process. Having all these ready will speed up the registration significantly.
开始之前,请确保您具备以下条件:一部具备近场通信(NFC)功能的智能手机(用于“UK Immigration: ID Check”应用程序)、一个有效的电子邮箱地址、您的手机号码、您的现行BRP卡或签证贴纸信息,以及您的护照。建议在身份验证过程中确保网络连接稳定且光线充足。提前备好这些材料将显著加快注册速度。
If you have a new BRP, check the expiry date; most BRPs expire on 31 December 2024, but your immigration status likely continues beyond that. Creating a UKVI account and accessing your eVisa is free of charge. Beware of scams that ask for payment for this service. The UKVI will never charge you for converting an existing BRP.
如果您持有新的BRP,请检查有效期;大多数BRP的有效期至2024年12月31日,但您的移民身份可能在此之后继续有效。创建UKVI账户并获取eVisa是免费的。请警惕任何为此服务索要费用的诈骗行为。UKVI绝不会就转换现有BRP收取费用。
3. Creating Your UKVI Account | 创建UKVI账户
Visit the official GOV.UK page for eVisa. Click on ‘Start now’ to begin. You will be asked if you already have a UKVI account. If not, select ‘No’ and proceed. Provide a valid email address; you will receive a confirmation code to this email. Enter the code to verify your email. Then create a strong password that meets the security requirements – at least 8 characters, including an uppercase letter, a number, and a special character.
访问GOV.UK官方电子签证页面,点击“立即开始”启动流程。系统会询问您是否已有UKVI账户。若无,选择“否”并继续。提供一个有效的电子邮箱地址;您将收到一封包含确认码的邮件。输入确认码以验证邮箱。然后创建一个符合安全要求的强密码——至少8个字符,包含大写字母、数字和特殊符号。
Next, you need to verify your mobile phone number. The system will send a text message with a security code. After phone verification, you will be asked to choose how to prove your identity. You must use the ‘UK Immigration: ID Check’ app, which you can download to your smartphone via the links provided or from official app stores like Google Play or the Apple App Store. Do not use a third-party app.
接下来,您需要验证手机号码。系统会发送一条包含安全码的短信。手机号码验证完毕后,您将需要选择如何证明身份。您必须使用“UK Immigration: ID Check”应用程序,可通过提供的链接或官方应用商店(如Google Play或Apple App Store)下载至您的智能手机。请勿使用第三方应用。
At this stage, your UKVI account is partially created. The account will be fully active once you complete identity verification and link your application. Keep your login details safe, as you will need them each time you manage your eVisa or prove your status.
此时,您的UKVI账户已部分创建。一旦您完成身份验证并关联申请,账户将完全激活。请妥善保管您的登录信息,因为每次管理eVisa或证明身份时都需要使用。
4. Completing Identity Verification | 完成身份验证
Open the ‘UK Immigration: ID Check’ app on your smartphone. Allow necessary permissions such as camera access. The app will prompt you to scan your BRP card. Place the BRP on a flat surface and use your phone’s camera to capture both sides. Ensure all details are
