Unable to link Passport to eVisa

Post by osharma » Wed Jan 08, 2025 11:21 am

Hi Everyone.

Background:
1. I moved to the UK in April 2019 on Tier 2 General Visa with my wife. We had a child in 2022 here in the UK.
2. As I was planning to move back to India, I got an extension on my visa until October 2024 but ended up applying for an ILR/settlement in October due to some change in circumstances.
3. My ILR/Settlement application has been successful and I received confirmation on it in January this year.
4. I created eVisa accounts for all three of us using BRP and the eVisa shows correct details.

Problems:
1. As I am planning to travel in March, I am linking our passports to the eVisa as somehow when I attempt to login using passport, the website is asking me to relink the eVisa and repeat the identity verification checks via the mobile app.
2. I tried using the "update details" service to add passport details. It worked for me and my wife and passport details are shown but when I did it for my child, it gives an error saying that the passport details cant be added as they already exist.

What have I done so far?
1. I reached out to the support team via the numbers provided. They asked me to use the support chat on their website.
2. I reached out to the support team via the chat but they could not resolve it. They ended up creating an incident report internally but I dont have any communication in relation to it or any update shared so far
2. I also created a help request via the website but I have not received any response for that as well.

What do I want to know
1. Can I go ahead and plan my travel?
2. Is there anything else I can do to resolve it?

Thank you for your time

Best Regards,
OSHARMA

If you are coming back before the 31 March you will be able to still use your BRP even though it is expired.
