The Home Office is replacing physical immigration documents with a digital proof of immigration status, an eVisa, for those already living in the UK, and for new visa applicants too. This will need to be completed by the end of 2024.
Customers in the UK who currently use a physical immigration document, such as a biometric residence permit (BRP) or legacy paper document such as a passport containing an ink stamp or a vignette sticker, will now need to create a UKVI account to access their eVisa.
It is free for customers who hold physical immigration documents to create a UKVI account to access their eVisa. Details of how to do this are available at gov.uk/evisa.
Updating a physical document to an eVisa does not affect a customer's immigration status, or the conditions of a customer's permission to enter or stay in the UK.
