The Home Office has announced that individuals holding a Biometric Residence Permit (BRP) expiring on 31 December 2024 can now create a UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI) account to access their eVisa. It is essential for individuals to complete this process before their BRP expires. If a BRP cannot be located, travel documents such as passports or visa application reference numbers can be used to create a UKVI account.
Key Points
Recommendation for Employers
Employers are highly encouraged to circulate this information to their migrant workforce, prompting them to convert their current BRPs to eVisas as soon as possible.
Implications of Not Obtaining an eVisa
Individuals who do not obtain an eVisa by 31 December 2024 may face difficulties in providing evidence of their immigration status to landlords, banks, or when entering the UK starting 1 January 2025.
