BRP & Evisa Information

UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI) are developing a digital immigration system. This means they are replacing physical documents with an online record of your immigration status. This is known as an eVisa.

An eVisa is an online record of your immigration status and the conditions of your permission to enter or stay in the UK. You will need to create a UKVI account to access your eVisa. Creating a UKVI account is free and straightforward.

Updating your physical document to an eVisa does not affect your immigration status or the conditions of your permission to enter or stay in the UK. 

The documents being replaced are:

  • Biometric residence permits (BRP)
  • Biometric residence cards (BRC)
  • Passport endorsements, such as indefinite leave to enter wet ink stamps.
  • Vignette stickers in passports, such as entry clearance or visa vignettes.

If you use a physical or legacy paper document to prove your immigration rights, please visit www.gov.uk/evisa to find out what you need to do next, and when you can do it.

If you have an issue with your eVisa you can report here: https://www.gov.uk/report-error-evisa
