The UK’s new e-Visa system will soon replace the Biometric Residence Permit (BRP) for many individuals.
While The Welcoming can’t assist directly with e-Visa applications, we want to provide some guidance and point you in the right direction for further support.
What is the e-Visa?
The e-Visa is a digital document that confirms your immigration status and replaces physical documents like the BRP.
eVisa is an online record of your permission to stay in the UK (leave to remain). It is not an application for permission to stay in the UK.
This transition is designed to streamline the process of proving your right to live, work, or study in the UK.
However, there have been concerns about potential challenges for those unfamiliar with digital systems, so it’s important to make sure you have the correct information and support.
