Biometric Residence Permits (BRPs) are being phased out by UK Visa and Immigration (UKVI) and replaced by a digital immigration status known as the eVisa. An eVisa is your visa status viewable online, and replaces physical visa documents like BRPs.

 

 

If you have a BRP that expired on 31 December 2024, but your overall permission to stay in the UK is longer, then you'll have the remainder of your immigration permission shown on your eVisa. This change means that visa holders will need to register an account with UKVI.

Important to know: You cannot update your passport details if you are waiting for the Home Office to make a decision on a visa application.
