Phasing out of Physical Visas

At the end of 2024, the Home Office will be phasing out physical visas – also known as Biometric Resident Permits (BRPs) - in favour of moving to a fully digital immigration system, with all immigration status recorded in the form of an eVisa. An eVisa is an online record of your immigration status and the conditions of your permission to enter or stay in the UK.
