How to Share Your UK eVisa Status: A Complete Guide for 2025

What Is the UK eVisa Share Code?

The UK eVisa system allows foreign nationals to prove their immigration status digitally. Instead of carrying physical documents like a BRP card, individuals can now use a secure share code to prove their right to stay, work, study, or rent in the UK.

This digital system is part of the UK’s transition toward a fully paperless immigration model by 2025.

When Do You Need to Share Your eVisa Status?

You may be asked to share your immigration status for:

• Job applications
• Renting accommodation
• University enrollment
• Public healthcare (NHS)
• Access to certain public services

Instead of submitting physical copies, you simply generate a share code that the verifier uses online to view your status.

How to Generate a Share Code

To generate your UK eVisa share code, follow these steps:

1. Visit the official portal
2. Sign in with your email address or ID document number used during your visa application.
3. Choose the purpose (e.g. work, rent, or other).
4. Receive a 9-character code, valid for 30 days.
5. Share this code with your employer, landlord, or university.

Who Can Use the Share Code System?

You can use the system if you:

• Hold a digital UK visa or eVisa
• Were issued a BRP, BRC, or status under the EU Settlement Scheme
• Have no physical proof, but have a digital status with UKVI

Note: Visitors on short stays or people without settled digital status might not be eligible.

Is It Safe?

Yes. The code is:

• Time-limited (expires in 30 days)
• Purpose-specific (e.g. view for employment or housing)
• Only usable through a secure gov uk page

Verifiers cannot access additional personal details or misuse the code for other purposes.

Pro Tip for Employers or Landlords

Go to:
➡️ gov uk view a job applicant-s-immigration-status
➡️ gov uk view- andlord immigration-check

Paste the code + date of birth to verify a candidate’s or tenant’s right to stay.

Use Case Example

Fatima, a student from the UAE, needs to prove her right to rent an apartment in London. She:

1. Logs in to the status portal
2. Selects “renting a property”
3. Sends the code to the letting agency
4. The agency verifies her right to rent—no documents, no delays
