BRP to eVisa — your questions answered
Common questions about the move from physical BRPs to the digital eVisa system.
An expired Biometric Residence Permit (BRP) does not necessarily mean your UK immigration permission has expired. While most BRP cards expired on 31 December 2024, your immigration status may still be valid if your underlying visa or permission to stay remains in effect.
If your BRP has expired, you should access your eVisa by creating a UKVI account and checking your digital immigration status. You can then use the View and Prove service to generate a share code when you need to confirm your right to live, work, or rent in the UK.
If you are unsure about your immigration status or visa expiry date, seek professional advice before taking any further steps.
Through your UKVI account, by generating a share code at gov.uk and giving it to the employer, landlord or organisation that needs to check you.
Treat this as urgent. Start with the official help routes at gov.uk/evisa, and consider contacting a regulated adviser.
