Biometric Residence Permits (BRP) are being phased out by the end of 2024. The Home Office introduced a new policy in January 2020, issuing BRP cards with an expiry date of 31 December 2024 if your original visa was valid beyond this date.
The Home Office is now inviting some BRP holders who do not have an eVisa to create a UKVI account to access their visa details as an eVisa. If you have not yet received an invitation email, you should receive it later in 2024.
Below, we will explore the most common questions on this topic.
