If your personal details or circumstances change, you may need to tell UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI). You must also keep your details with the University up to date.

What changes do I need to report to UKVI?

If you have an eVisa, you can update the following details through your UKVI account:

  • name
  • term time address
  • mobile phone number
  • nationality
  • date of birth
  • gender

Some other changes cannot be reported through your UKVI account. These include getting a criminal conviction or changes to certain family circumstances. You will need to complete a change of circumstances form for these changes.

How do I update my address with UKVI?
