UK Immigration is an Android application designed to help British immigrants verify their identity without needing to visit an office. This official tool is created by the UK Visas and Immigration agency.
Tutorial
This service is available for:
- UK overseas visa applicants;
- citizens of the EU, EEA, and Switzerland seeking a British visa;
- applicants with biometric UK residence permits.
To start, it is necessary to fill out an online visa request through a dedicated application or the UK Visas and Immigration website. Then, you need to scan the provided QR code.
Using this app, you can submit details about your documents, such as an ID passport with a chip or biometric residence permit. It is important to take a photo of your ID with your camera, and then place your smartphone on the card to read the information via NFC.
Next, you can scan your face with your smartphone to verify your identity. The app includes a brief guide to help you take a high-quality photo. Ensure you are in a well-lit area and position your phone directly in front of your face, centering it on the screen.
Application
After taking the photo, all information is sent to the UK Visas and Immigration agency for verification. You can track the progress of your application and document verification, just like in HK Immigration Department. Once your request is approved, you will get a push notification.
