Home Office adds eVisa stock note and holder breakdown
13 Oct 2026
If you hold UK immigration status, your eVisa is how you prove it. The Home Office has updated its "eVisa facts and figures" page with a note on how many people now use one. GOV.UK shows the page as "Updated 12 October 2026".
The page says: "As of the end of 2025 there were over 10 million people accessing their eVisa." It adds that "Over half of these are people with digital pre-settled status or settled status under the EU Settlement Scheme." The rest hold a range of immigration products, "the most common being Work, Study, and Graduate visas". The page also says that since the end of 2025, "even more migrants can access an eVisa, including visitors and seasonal workers."
A linked methodology note looks at people who still need a UKVI account. It gives an estimate of approximately 100,000 remaining people with immigration status from the end of 2024, as of the end of August 2026. It says "people will continue to create accounts".
These pages are statistics, not new rules, and they do not set a deadline for you. If you have not yet created your UKVI account, the practical step is to do it so you can view and share your status. Use the official GOV.UK eVisa pages to check your own status.
