Update to online immigration status (eVisa)
From today (6 August 2024) if you have a biometric residence permit (BRP) that expires on 31 December 2024, you can now create a UKVI account and access your eVisa.
You should do this before the expiry date of your BRP. You can use your travel document, such as a passport, or visa application reference number to create your UKVI account if you have lost your BRP card.
You should only request a replacement BRP if it has been lost or stolen and you have no other form of identity document to create a UKVI account.
If you cannot see your eVisa details as soon as you create your UKVI account, you do not need to anything. UKVI will contact you directly by email once your eVisa is available to view. You can use your BRP to prove your immigration status until your eVisa details are available.
