E-Visa ID Check Challenge

Post by OA567 » Tue Oct 22, 2024 8:57 am

Hello,

Please, I have a UK ILR. I don't want to apply for my British citizenship yet.

I have created my E-Visa online account.

I tried using my ILR Biometric Residence Permit (BRP) to perform the ID check (as this is the document I used to create the account). The BRP was issued in January, 2015.

I could not use the BRP - after MANY attempts.

It appears that I may be able to use my Nigerian passport to perform the ID check; instead of using the ILR BRP.

So, I would like to use my Nigerian passport to perform the ID check.

Please, has anyone done this successfully ? If so, how did you do this, please ?

Thank you very much.

Regards,

'Yemi.

The system is very new and there are a lot of unknown unknowns. Try with your Nigerian passport and report back on what happens.
All advice comes from personal research and experience and should not be regarded as professional opinion.

Thank you very much for your prompt response. !

However, there is no option (at least that I can see) for me to use the Nigerian passport to perform the ID check.

I may have to send my BRP card over to the Home Office - to verify the authenticity.. I am aware they don't give you a timeline of how long it will take - before they return it.

Thank you very much !
