Biometric Residence Permits (BRP)
Set up your eVisa now
Biometric Residence Permits (BRPs) have been replaced with electronic visas. If you had a BRP which expired on the 31 December 2024, but you still have permission to be in the UK, you should create an eVisa account with UK Visas and Immigration now.

If your BRP expired on 31 December 2024
Because BRPs were phased out in 2024, all visa expiry dates from 2025 onwards were shown as 31 December 2024 on the BRP. The actual expiry date of your visa was unaffected.
You can find your visa expiry date on the notification you received when your visa was granted.
You should now create a UKVI account to access your eVisa.
In particular, you must set up your eVisa and link it to your passport before attempting to re-enter the UK in order to avoid delays on arrival and to minimise the risk of being denied boarding at check-in.
It is important to keep all correspondence you receive relating to your immigration application. This is so that you can cross-check your eVisa with all the other information you have about the decision that was made in your case.
If in doubt, please contact an immigration adviser.
