What visa document will I use to enter the UK?
An eVisa is a digital record of your identity and the conditions of your UK immigration status.
You need a UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI) account to access your eVisa. Please visit UKVI's website to create your online immigration status (eVisa).
For instructions on how to create your UKVI account and link your eVisa, please watch the UKVI video below:

When can you travel to the UK?
You can arrive in the UK before your course starts. When you can travel to the UK will depend on the study duration of your course. This can be either:
- up to 1 week before your start date, if your course lasts 6 months or less, or
- up to 1 month before your start date, if your course lasts more than 6 months.
You must not travel to the UK before your visa start date.
