Isn't getting ILR to take 5 years of staying in the UK And citizenship another year? But you stayed 8 years, yet haven't you got your ILR?
Do you need to do all this if you already have ILR in 2023 ?
Nice to hear a fellow Canadian actually explain this to me.
Question my my indefinite visa is attach on my passport do i need to apply e visa?
i am in the Thameslink area and there's no really good explanative videos on how to use or upload to their version of the key card. The problem I am finding is the site wants me to attach a picture but I don't have a passport type of picture on my laptop I have a photo card so I can purchase season tickets but they aren't able to use that. all seems overly complicated a for ppl that aren't tech savvy.
So how does this eVisa look like? Is there any writing "eVisa" on that page with eVisa? I just can't find any page which says "this is your eVisa".
Very informative video. Thanks a million
How about the Biometric Residence Card (BRC) do we need to apply for the e Visa as well or how?
You actually don’t have to wait for the email, you can create the UKVI account by following the right link.
Great video - good to hear your perspective! My wife and I are moving from southern Ontario over to southern England and your videos are super helpful
Hello there please help me...i used my uan number as my passport is expired and my brp card with ILR was lost and i reported it!! Now i went through this process and its asked me to pay 19pound. (BRP RC). Am i still applyi g for evisa??? Im really confused and im afaraid work might just suddenly say im illegal as im using a employment service check....what do i do 😬😬😬
Why can’t someone in the uk put together a proper explanation of a government process that doesn’t originate with Monty Python? This is not a criticism of the post maker.
Am happy to meet you here
Good morning my dear friend
I jusy done my (BRP) whole i was watching thie video and ur video help me alot thanks alot for making such video ❤
I created the UKVI account in my laptop but after I enter there is no QR code there just "Your form, and you have no recent application", I installed the app and got into it but the first thing it ask is for QR code. So now it seems there is no way to proceed
Have you fixed your issue? I have the same issue
Hi I haven't gotten the email from the UKVI people yet? I am panicking here what shall I do?
Less talk more shows
Hi Anna Do I need to bring physical photo of myself for the biometric appointment or they will take my photo themselves?
Hi, I'm just 21 years old and i don't have any kind of degree qualification, I've finished my high school. will i be able to apply for this visa?? Can you please clarify me this thing. Thanks!!
Hi, is there any way to continue the process with a smartphone that does not have contactless payments?
Thank you so very much. The only question I have is, do we have to pay for NHS and visa fee for e-vias?
ok thank you
I have a confusion, that is when we applied for graduate visa, we created one UKVI account. However for evisa do I have to create another new UKVI account or would I use the old one to apply for e-visa?. Please enlighten.TIA.
If passport is expired still have to send with application
Hi can you plz tell reference should be from Canada or even that country you are living in thank you
$1000 for a year of health care is not a huge lump sum from the perspective of an American. We've had to pay $800/month for insurance that still had massive copays and high deductibles.
Do you have any reccomendations for those who don't have a visa yet (in general or specially for the expat explanation)? I would be looking to get a Skilled Worker visa which requires you to have a job offer first.
Is the chip on the front of the card or the back?
On the back of BRP Card
While using the ukimigration id check app it shows like ‘you are locked out of the app’anyone can help me to fix this problem please?
Food ? You mean Indian and Chinese (neither authentic) but people eat it ....
I have had a home in the UK for 34 years ... I have lived and worked there for less than 12 years .... I am British (my passport says so) , I will never be English. Best thing the UK gave me was a passport and access to the world...
if l apply this type of visa can l work as a full time ?
I already have my eVisa but it still says in the new forms to link your eVisa when I log in to my UKVI account. Is it only me or did I do something wrong?
Thank you for this. We were not so lucky. It's been 3 months since signing and we only just got access to the evisa.. However it still says it expires on December 31st. Is this what other people found? Or does it give the actual expire of the visa, not the current card? Any help greatly appreciated
I don't have a brp card however I have a remain to ,stay in the UK .
I am doing for my child and i can't sign in .Says details doesn't match.I don't think they updated his recent BRP number.Should i call Visa cente?
What if i working for agency
I like the way you speak
How do you get the evisa linked to your immigration check app? Currently you need to login via a website? Am I doing anything wrong?
Which Date of expiry for BRP do we need to mention while creating account, i have give 31/12/2024, but its giving me error once i submit details from UK Visa app(by clicking pics), once i sign back in it shows Details do not match , and shows Scanned in app as 31/12/2024 and details given in Account details as original VISA expiry, however i have given as 31/12/2024 while creating account. Anyone faces this issue?
I kept sign in and out and waited a day but when i sign in to my ukvi account i am bot getting the barcoce to scan to go the app !!! What should I do?
I live in Kent too, I’ve had The key for a few months not I’ve not used it yet, I’m currently trying to book a single ticket with it but when I go to check out the only ticket options are to collect from a ticket machine, no The Key option😞
I can't find QR code where can I find that please?
thanks very much you were very helpful.
Hi there, so if we don’t need to wait for the email from the Home Office, where do I go (what is the link), to actually start my registration for the eVisa ?
Thanks.
What card should I buy if I'm 42 and I travel alone?
Sorry.. I have watched video saying even if you don't receive a letter from home office
