Important update about eVisas

The UK Government has announced significant changes to the eVisa rollout timetable.

The validity of expiring BRPs will now be extended until at least 31 March 2025, with this date subject to ongoing review. It means that BRPs that expire on or after 31 December 2024 will be accepted as valid evidence of permission to travel.

We would still encourage you to create an account and access your eVisa before the end of this year. For more information, please read the government's advice: https://www.gov.uk/government/news/visa-holders-should-switch-to-an-evisa-now
