<p>UK Visas and Immigration (<abbr title="UK Visas and Immigration">UKVI</abbr>) are developing a digital immigration system. This means we are replacing physical documents with an online record of your immigration status. This is known as an eVisa.</p>
<p>The documents being replaced are:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://www.gov.uk/biometric-residence-permits" class="govuk-link">biometric residence permits (<abbr title="Biometric residence permit">BRP</abbr>)</a></li>
<li><a href="https://www.gov.uk/uk-residence-card" class="govuk-link">biometric residence cards (<abbr title="Biometric residence card">BRC</abbr>)</a></li>
<li>passport endorsements, such as indefinite leave to enter wet ink stamps</li>
<li>vignette stickers in passports, such as entry clearance or visa vignettes</li>
</ul>
<p>Since 2018, millions of people have received an eVisa online, for example through the EU Settlement Scheme.</p>
<h2 id="what-is-an-evisa">What is an eVisa? </h2>
<p>An eVisa is an online record of your immigration status and the conditions of your permission to enter or stay in the UK. You need to create a <abbr title="UK Visas and Immigration">UKVI</abbr> account to be able to access your eVisa. </p>
<p>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. </p>
<p>You can use an eVisa to travel to the UK together with your current passport which must be linked to your <abbr title="UK Visas and Immigration">UKVI</abbr> account. You should also <a href="https://www.gov.uk/view-prove-immigration-status" class="govuk-link">get a share code to prove your immigration status</a> before you travel. Your carrier may ask for it. A share code is valid for 90 days.</p>
<p>The benefits of eVisas include: </p>
<ul>
<li>they are secure and cannot be lost, stolen or tampered with, unlike a physical document </li>
<li>you will not need to wait for, or collect, a physical document after your application is decided – you might still need to provide biometric information in person, and we will tell you if you need to do this </li>
<li>it will be quicker and easier to prove your status at the UK border, and share your status with third parties like employers and landlords </li>
</ul>

<p>Once you have created your <abbr title="UK Visas and Immigration">UKVI</abbr> account you will be able to view the details of your eVisa online, for example your type of permission, when it expires and your conditions of stay in the UK. </p>
<p>You should <a href="https://www.gov.uk/report-error-evisa" class="govuk-link">report an error</a> to <abbr title="UK Visas and Immigration">UKVI</abbr> if your details are wrong on your eVisa, for example your name or immigration status.</p>

<p>Your eVisa will be linked to your passport in your <abbr title="UK Visas and Immigration">UKVI</abbr> account. You must keep your passport or ID card details up to date in your <abbr title="UK Visas and Immigration">UKVI</abbr> account and tell us about any changes, so that your immigration status can be easily identified at the UK border.</p>
<p>You should make sure your <a href="https://www.gov.uk/guidance/making-sure-your-evisa-is-correct-before-you-travel" class="govuk-link">personal details</a> are up to date well in advance before you travel. You may be delayed or denied boarding by carriers if your information is not correct. You’ll still need to carry your current passport with you. </p>
<p>If you’ve told us you have a new passport and you’re still waiting for confirmation that your <abbr title="UK Visas and Immigration">UKVI</abbr> account has been updated, you should also carry your old document with you, if possible, to avoid unnecessary delays at the border. </p>

<p>Everyone must have their own <abbr title="UK Visas and Immigration">UKVI</abbr> account. Where a child under the age of 18 is unable to create and manage their own account, a parent or guardian should do this for them.

<h3 id="if-you-have-a-biometric-residence-permit">If you have a biometric residence permit </h3>
<p>You can use your <abbr title="Biometric residence permit">BRP</abbr> to create a <abbr title="UK Visas and Immigration">UKVI</abbr> account to access your eVisa. Most BRPs expire on 31 December 2024. You should create your <abbr title="UK Visas and Immigration">UKVI</abbr> account before your <abbr title="Biometric residence permit">BRP</abbr> expires.</p>
<p>If your <abbr title="Biometric residence permit">BRP</abbr> expires on or after 31 December 2024, and you still have permission to stay in the UK, you should continue to carry your <abbr title="Biometric residence permit">BRP</abbr> with you when you travel to the UK until 31 March 2025.</p>
<p>Keep your expired <abbr title="Biometric residence permit">BRP</abbr> card as it may help with future applications to stay in the UK. You may also want it for your personal records. If you have a physical immigration document, you can continue to use it until it expires.</p>
<p>You can use your travel document, such as a passport, and your visa application reference number to create your <abbr title="UK Visas and Immigration">UKVI</abbr> account if your <abbr title="Biometric residence permit">BRP</abbr> card has been lost or stolen.</p>
<p>If you were granted permission to enter or stay in the UK before 31 October and were given a <abbr title="Biometric residence permit">BRP</abbr>, but no longer have that <abbr title="Biometric residence permit">BRP</abbr> or another identity document such as a valid passport, you can create your <abbr title="UK Visas and Immigration">UKVI</abbr> account. You will be told what you need to do to prove your identity.</p>
<p>You can no longer request a new or replacement <abbr title="Biometric residence permit">BRP</abbr> card. Read the guidance on <a href="https://www.gov.uk/biometric-residence-permits/lost-stolen-damaged" class="govuk-link">what to do if yours has been lost, stolen or damaged</a>. Since 31 October 2024, we no longer issue <abbr title="Biometric residence permit">BRP</abbr> cards.</p>
<p>If you have permission to stay in the UK, once you’ve created your <abbr title="UK Visas and Immigration">UKVI</abbr> account you will be able to sign in to the <a href="https://www.gov.uk/view-prove-immigration-status" class="govuk-link">view and prove service</a> to access your eVisa. </p>

<p>If you have a valid <abbr title="Biometric residence permit">BRP</abbr> you can use it to prove your immigration status, where permitted, until your eVisa details are available.

<p>If you were granted permission to stay in the UK after the 31 October but do not have a valid passport, we will create an account for you. You will be notified by email or letter with instructions on how to access it.</p>
<h3 id="if-you-have-another-physical-document">If you have another physical document</h3>
<p>If you have indefinite leave to enter or indefinite leave to remain (also known as settlement or settled status) and you currently prove your rights through a different type of physical document, such as a wet-ink stamp in your passport or a vignette sticker, then you should make a free <a rel="external" href="https://apply-to-visit-or-stay-in-the-uk.homeoffice.gov.uk/sorted/ever-had-brp/sar_in_uk?uid=34eb5d01-3048-48b3-a1e4-2c2f828e4bc6&cookiesPreferencesURL=https%3A%2F%2Fapply-to-visit-or-stay-in-the-uk.homeoffice.gov.uk%2Fdashboard%2Fcookies&cookiesPolicyDomain=apply-to-visit-or-stay-in-the-uk.homeoffice.gov.uk&showBanner=true" class="govuk-link">‘no time limit’ (<abbr title="No time limit">NTL</abbr>) application.</a></p>
<p>Once your <abbr title="No time limit">NTL</abbr> application is decided, you will receive an eVisa. You will be told how to access your eVisa in your decision email or letter.</p>
<div class="call-to-action">
<p>You can continue to prove your rights using your existing physical documents where they are permitted while your <abbr title="No time limit">NTL</abbr> application is being considered and after it is decided. This includes for proving your <a href="https://www.gov.uk/prove-right-to-work/using-immigration-documents" class="govuk-link">right to work</a> if your document has not expired, <a href="https://www.gov.uk/prove-right-to-rent/using-immigration-documents" class="govuk-link">right to rent</a> or for travel to the UK.</p>

<li>are an EU, other EEA or Swiss citizen or their family member</li>
<li>have been resident in the UK since before 31 December 2020</li>
<li>have held indefinite leave to enter or remain under another route since before 31 December 2020</li>

<p>If you or your parent were settled in the UK on 1 January 1973, or you arrived in the UK before the end of 1988, you should check if you are eligible to apply for evidence of your status under the <a href="https://www.gov.uk/guidance/windrush-scheme" class="govuk-link">Windrush Scheme</a>.</p>
<h3 id="if-you-have-a-biometric-residence-card">If you have a biometric residence card</h3>
<p>If you have a biometric residence card (<abbr title="Biometric residence card">BRC</abbr>) and you have been granted status under the EU Settlement Scheme, then you already have an eVisa and you do not need to take any action to obtain one. You can find details of how to access and use your eVisa (your digital status) in your grant letter or email.</p>
<p>If your <abbr title="Biometric residence card">BRC</abbr>, which was issued under the EU Settlement Scheme, expires on or after 31 December 2024, and you still have permission to stay in the UK, you should continue to carry it with you when you travel to the UK until 31 March 2025. </p>
<p>If you have a <abbr title="Biometric residence card">BRC</abbr> and you have not been granted status under the EU Settlement Scheme, obtained another form of immigration leave, or become a British citizen, then your <abbr title="Biometric residence card">BRC</abbr> is no longer valid, even if it appears to still be in date. This is because the UK has left the EU, and the EU free movement law no longer applies.</p>
<p>To continue living in the UK you should get an immigration status as soon as possible. You may be able to <a href="https://www.gov.uk/settled-status-eu-citizens-families/applying-for-settled-status" class="govuk-link">make a late application to the EU Settlement Scheme</a> as a family member of a relevant EU, other EEA or Swiss citizen.

<p>If you are a British or Irish citizen, and you hold a British or Irish passport, you do not need an eVisa or a <abbr title="UK Visas and Immigration">UKVI</abbr> account and do not need to do anything. You should continue to use your passport to prove your status in the UK.</p>
<p>If you are a British citizen and are also a national of another country (other than Ireland), or you are a Commonwealth citizen with the right of abode in the UK, you do not need an eVisa. You can prove your right to live and work in the UK using a British citizen passport, or a <a href="https://www.gov.uk/right-of-abode" class="govuk-link">certificate of entitlement to the right of abode</a> in your foreign passport.</p>
<p>If you have the right of abode in the UK and you still have your <abbr title="Biometric residence permit">BRP</abbr>, <a href="https://www.gov.uk/apply-citizenship-indefinite-leave-to-remain/after-you-get-your-certificate" class="govuk-link">check what you need to do with your <abbr title="Biometric residence permit">BRP</abbr> after being granted citizenship</a>.</p>
