Information for those whose BRP (British Resident Card) is valid until 31.12.2024.
To check what date the card is valid until – check the date on the card, or look in your inbox for a decision on your visa from UKVI when you received your resident card.
Starting in 2025, the e-visa is an online record of your immigration status.
What you need to do to get electronic immigration status to replace your plastic BRP card:
– Create a UKVI account for E-visa, it will receive a notification of how to create a personal account for E-visa by the end of 2024
– Confirm your identity using the UK Immigration ID Check app
What you need to have when creating an account:
