UK government plans to fully digitalize immigration documents by 2025, replacing physical BRPs with eVisas by 2024.
The UK government plans to phase out physical immigration documents like BRPs, cards, and visa stickers by 2025, moving to a fully digital immigration system. As part of this transition, eVisas will replace BRPs by Dec 31, 2024, and UK-based employers are encouraged to communicate the move to eVisas to employees. The online UKVI account will be required for eVisa holders and will serve as an online record of one's immigration status. The process is free, secure, and straightforward.
