Hello@Everyone

I have been trying to create my UKVI account to link or get my e-visa but I am unable to receive the SMS from UKVI.
What other options should I try ?

To those who have collected their passport, what did you take along to collect your passport at vfs

Anyone with this?

Re: Uk Student Visa/tier 4 Pbs - Your Questions Answered Part 9 by 70glory70: 10:03pm On Sep 12, 2025

Just following up on the eVisa process—I was able to complete it successfully. The reason I couldn't scan the chip on my passport initially is that mine is an older version (passport number starts with "A" wink

, which doesn't have one. I have to select the option for "passport without a chip," and that worked perfectly. All that's left is to use the UK Immigration: ID Check app to scan my passport, complete the facial verification, and submit. The identity verification typically takes about 3 hours to process and finalize. But If your passport number starts with "B," the chip is embedded near the coat of arms or the front cover. I hope this helps.

Please can you share your border experience??

Can you share your border experience??

I shared my experience yesterday, because I got here yesterday. But it seems the post was deleted, probably because I mentioned creating a group for new intakes to share experiences.

To whoever deleted the message, please note that my intention wasn’t to move people off this platform. I simply feel there are important things to do immediately after arriving here. I have someone guiding me through these processes, and I thought it would be helpful to share so others don’t repeat the same mistakes those before us made.
But it’s fine, I might have done too much. Either way, we’ll all survive and figure things out.

But You don’t have to be scared, just stay calm and sharp.

They’ll confirm your name. Make sure to remove hats, caps, glasses, or AirPods before you get there. You may be asked about your reason for coming, your school, course, and duration (1–2 years). Sometimes they request your CAS, so keep a printed copy handy just in case.

After that, you’ll do a thumbprint, and that’s it.
And also if you want to access the internet, just connect to any available WI-FI at the airport. The one I used has 2hours limit. I think that’s all

No, they didn't not, in my own case. They only contact banks randomly as there are many applications.

Just use the email option only. When they ask for phone number, input it and wen otp didn't come up, skip it. You can use only email.

Nope, enter your phone number with the country code just like the example in the picture you posted and click send code. They won't send it, but under that same page, you can continue without sending code to your phone number. Just choose email whenever you want to use code
