Home Office Launches Passenger Helpline for eVisas

IN THIS SECTION

In light of the extended transition to eVisas, the Home Office is launching a new passenger support helpline to deal with queries from those who will be travelling from 31 December 2024.

The helpline will be open 24/7 from 9am GMT on 31 December 2024. It will be operated by UKVI contact centre staff, and is for those who are travelling imminently. The helpline cannot be used to resolve technical issues or to contact carriers.

The helpline number is 0800 876 6921. It is a freephone number, with no charges for calls made to this number.

If you cannot contact UK 0800 numbers, you can contact 0203 337 0927, which may incur charges.
