Have a UK BRP? You MUST register for new eVisa (Complete Walkthrough)
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 14 มิ.ย. 2024
- If you are in the UK on a visa (a Youth Mobility Scheme visa, Family visa, ANY UK visa!) you MUST register for a new eVisa that will replace all Biometrics Residence Permits. It's best to complete this process BEFORE your BRP expires in December 2024. I'll walk you through the entire process, start to finish.

Hey guys! I'm Alanna - a Canadian who has been living in the UK for the last 8 years and I want to help you make your dream a reality, too! On my channel, you can find everything you need to know about moving to the United Kingdom, how to get settled and tips on enjoying life as an expat abroad :)
Just an update in case you haven't received an email to get started from the Home Office yet! "The service will open to all BRP holders from summer 2024. Customers with BRPs do not need to do anything unless they receive an email, and don’t need to contact the Home Office if they do not receive an email immediately because the service will open to all in the summer."
What’s happen if my Brp (sponsor revoke my visa ) and I have applied for e visa .. . And I am having difficulty when my new sponsor Is issuing a new COS . Can you advice please
So you’ll just go to the site and sign up like normal and should be all good - where did you find this update please ?🙏
I got ILR since 2008 and have applied for citizenship and i dont have a BRP. Please advise me, can i apply for my citizenship and bypass the BRP.? Thank you
Would you please demonstrate how to scan the BRP ?
@@Dungdun the instructions from Home Office will guide you and request how the card should be positioned. Also, note that your phone must be NFC (Near Field Communication)...
this was so helpful, was able to do it even though i didnt get an email , i guess it opened up for everyone this summer like you said
Thank very much for the information, it's highly appreciated
Thank you very much your explanations are very clear and understandable.❤❤❤
I really appreciate your video,it has explained the whole details very clear.
Thank you. It is very much appreciated. Very helpful.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
This is the first video I understand everything from it thank you
Very helpful. Thank you so much.
Thank you, I wasn't aware of this change.
Thanks for the information! Quite detailed.
❤ very nice and details explained 💕💕💕
Great explanation, thank you so much, you are amazing
I was actually able to do the process without receiving an email from the home office. It’s fairly easy process until you get to the part you have to scan the BRP card , it took me quite a few tries before it got through. if you can’t you’ll have send in proof of identity to home office.
Hi, Thanks for the video very informative. Apart from the main visa holder, should we complete the same process for each dependent including the child?
Thank you so much for such a detailed video. First of a kind for such an intense and important process. I wish someone from UKVI could do what you did. Amazing job!
Thank you very much. ❤
Good info thanks
Thanks for your help
I've had an eVISA for right about 2 years now, and every time I leave/enter the country, whether it's at the UK borders or the check-in counter in the respective country I'm flying from, I get asked about my VISA status, get asked tons of questions, get moved to other officers for more verifications; it's a nightmare. I hope that they conveyed all information to all countries saying they are phasing out BRPs, else good luck to you all, you'll to go through a stuggle.
Thank you for such useful information...
In case if I have a family, should I apply for each one separately?
Thank you help me beautiful! God bless 🙏💕
Thank you so much for such a detailed video. How about children? are they going to be with me or with mom !!!
Thank you so much
...Nice tutorials... Also, people must know that not all phones have NFCs.. so your phone must be NFC to be able to scan and pick data from from the BRP card. :)
Hi, thanks for the video. Can I use the eVisa now instead of the BRP? Will they accept it at the airport when I come to the UK? I lost my BRP but have my eVisa.
Quick question, how long did it take for Home Office to approve your passport details when you add new identity onto the account using webpage?
Thank you ver much!
*Hi. Thanks for your information. That was very helpful. I have a question. We applied our visas with the help of solicitor. So its obvious we won't be getting any email from UKVI right? SO should i contact solicitor about the e-visa?*
Thank you very much
Wanted to add here, the UKVI will ask about the Expiry date.Please enter your BRP expiry date which is 31-12-2024 for everyone and not the date when your VISA expires.
Do you have to be in the country when you apply for the e visa ?
Hi
Thanks for the perfect information and sharing your opinions it's really appreciated
I've recently got my live to remain and I'm about to apply for citizenship and I was wondering if need to apply for this eVisa first or not I'll appreciate if you kindly give me an answer
Thank you in advance
Hi thx for the good info. I just want to know if I can apply whilds abroad.
finally, someone who speaks perfect english to explain stuff like this lol. i don't have a brp but i have been in the uk for a long long time, decades, and i have irl on my old passport and a updated new passport to travel in and out the country, and the website suggests that i make an NTL application which is free but takes time. what if i don't want to make an NTL, can i skip this step and sign up the evisa with my passport instead? i don't think the HO has my email as we used the immigration socilitor to get the IRL years and years ago.
I would recommend that you print your eVisa, and take a copy when you travel outside the country.
Share code will do the job i guess.
It will be valid for 90 days from the day you create a share code
Hi! Since it scanned my brp and copied the expiry date from it instead of the real expiry date i have inputed in. Just wondering if this is the same for you? I’m hesitant in submitting my form.
Really clear and helpful in pointing out the details to be careful about. Although having information online is reassuring , I am concerned about being able to quickly prove your status at a foreign airport , as they won’t allow people to board unless they are satisfied that they will be admitted to the UK.
After you create an account with these instructions, you can go back into your eVisa and add your passport details.
That way: "Your eVisa will be linked to your passport in your UKVI account. You must keep your passport or ID card details up to date in your UKVI account and tell us about any changes, so that your immigration status can be easily identified at the UK border. You'll still need to carry your current passport with you."
I'll post another video with these additional steps
@@introvertedexpat Thank you for the reply ; I fully expect UK Border Force to have instant access when scanning a passport , my concern , as I said , is at the foreign port / airport - I'm not convinced that airline check-in staff will have such ready access . I suspect it will be down to the passenger to print out their status or get a share code every time they travel , much less quick and convenient than simply showing a BRP card or stamp in a passport . I hope that I'm being unduly pessimistic , we'll find out next year !
Hi ....When you re-enter the UK, what documents do you need to show to the passport control ? Many Thanks
Can you instantiate access to my UK eVisa? I don't have NFC enabled smartphone.
Thank you so much for your video! Just a PSA, in case anyone else is having the same issue, the reverse for me was true - I used my BRP number to create an account and when I signed in, I had no option to link my eVisa. After signing in, all it said under the 'forms' tab was, 'You have no recent applications'. I signed out, refreshed, went back in and still the same issue. So I tried creating an account again, this time using my passport number and it worked! You'll sign in and see a box that says 'Link your eVisa to your account' with a green start button. So if like Alanna your passport doesn't work, try your BRP number, if like me, try your passport :)
Thanks so much ... Very helpful
What if I already have a UKVI account? I meant when I applied for my visa previously, I already opened a UKVI account. Do I still need to open a new one?
Did you receive home office email before you opened your account ?
@@forhadhossainn723 I don’t think so, despite having a UKVI account for my visa application, it wasn’t the same. Before you do anything, please wait for the email from the home office prompting you to get an eVisa. The subject line for my email was , ‘You need to replace your BRP with an eVisa now’. :)
I also used my passport to create UKVI account and finished the application process for evisa. But now after 5 days I still haven't received email from UKVI about the outcome of evisa. Seems that everyone using BRP to create UKVI account gets evisa very quickly after the submission. May I ask how long it took you to receive the outcome of evisa?
Thanks for your video. My partner and myself have also registered for the eVisa. What still confuses me is how immigration checks would work post BRP at airports or similar grounds. With the usually poor network at so many airports, do they actually expect people to sign in to the HO account on a browser and show details to the officer while waiting in the queue? Besides the convenience part, most airport immigration zones observe a strict no-phone policy as well. I just can't wrap my head around the whole process. Maybe in future, HO comes up with a functionality on their app where you can store your eVisa like other loyalty cards on your phone wallet. But as it stands, the adoption looks quite tedious.
Thank you very much for your video, I have a question about what expiration date to set for my BRP card, which expires on 31/12/2024. or the date of my residence permit that expires in 2026?😂
Hi , what about the Biometric residence card for a EU family member?
Could you please tell us that how many days after you can view your e visa online?
Brilliant, thanks Alanna
I don't have BRP. But I have ILR sticker on my passport. Can I continue using the sticker or switch to eVisa? In order to open the eVisa account, do I need a BRP?
thank you 🙏
What’s happen if my Brp (sponsor revoke my visa ) and I have applied for e visa .. . And I am having difficulty when my new sponsor Is issuing a new COS . Can you advice please .
I created an account as I received an email from UKVI. I signed in after creating the account but unable to link to my mobile for ID check! So what is the solution, please.
nice. so if my kid is 5 years and should we do the same process of linking evisa to uki account for kids also with the same process?
Is it possible to get ILR on a family visa after certain months or years staying? I am an expat too. So, what is the privileges as a commonwealth citizen.
Hi thanks for the explaination.. its really helpful but i have made in typinh error in my brp while signing up i put 2023 as end of brp instead of 2024 and now i tried to contact ukvi but they didnt provide me the proper solution and it says always information mismateched.. So now what should i do.. i need help on this

Good information im also waiting for email from Home office thank you keep the good work ❤❤ im also asking if i can travel with my brp in August or September before its expired on the 31st of December 2024 please advice
Hello, thank you for informative video.
I had a question, as I did a mistake when I create my UKVI account, using my passport details, not BRP, as I was thinking like everyone, that my BRP is expiring, so what should I do, it's saying that UKVI account details and ID check details do not match. But I still did not submit anything. Can I change my UKVI account?
Thank you Ma'am
if i did not get any home office email how can i application this?
Hi, I applied and received an email saying my evisa is ready. but when i log in it says it's not ready. do you know the solution please?
Thanks for sharing, i havent got any email yet! . So hopefully it would be much easier !!.

My last spouse visa extension was done by my solicitor, so most like he used his email is it possible for me to do my wifes E Visa application? its just cause i dont want to pay the solicitor for something i can do TIA 😊
Hi
I just submitted the identity details in the app but I can't access to 2. Account Security and 3. Submit requests so how I can do it? I need a different email from Home Office
I have received the email twice but my ILR application on processing and my current BRP expired while my new visa on processing. So I'm waiting for my new id to arrive to create my evisa. I hope I'm doing the right thing but I'm bit worried. Please tell me if there is anything else I can do. Thanks

Wife Waiting on decision for indefinite to leave, do need create evisa show in video. Had email to apply evisa don't think from home office. Bpr expired 31st May 2024

My visa is expiring this month
Do i need to replace it to get brp again or do i jst need to apply for evisa??
However I haven't received any email from home office
I have received the e visa view email but there is no photo avaliable on it , is this normal or do I need to mail them ?
Hi Dear,
I can’t scan BRP On the apps it say wrong document. Or your surname it’s not correct.
Thank you
Hi Wokey ❤❤❤
HELP!Tried to do it. I tried to signed up using passport and using the app, I gave my BRP details and took pic of front and back and scanned. Took pic of face and everything. Then, on continuing, it came back saying didn't match. It's trying to match the login details(passport) with the app id details(BRP). It's messed up now. No option to undo. It's asking if that's not your details. I clearly picked it as BRP in the app and passport in the website earlier. But at the end trying to match them under the same document.
Has anyone tried to delete the profile and create a new one? We did this for my hubby and he's very cross now.
Didn't think passport had the chip, so chose BRP to upload.
Should I ignore the process and start signing up with BRP?
It's really confusing. Anybody had similar situation?
Can I apply before my BRP expires?
if choosing BRP to register by, in the App it scans the back and front of the BRP card and then tries to scan the chip. Where is that? There is an image of a chip above the photo but scanning around there does nothing.
I just realised the chip is on the back but invisible. We've managed to lock ourselves out for 24 hours after going around in circles, so have to try another day.
Thanks for sharing!
Very useful.
But one question remains: how can I prove my visa status when I fly from another EU country to the UK after 2024 ?
From your phone?!
I was being clever and started all the process without the invitation email. Ended up seeing my previous visa details not the latest one even if I had signed up with the latest BRP. So ultimately I have to wait now and see what happens next.
Me too done advance and waiting 😂😂😂
@@alexchacko2354let me know if it works please 😅
@mataxy_hub just activated ukvi account first and submit documentation for evisa ....
@@mataxy_hub I enrolled for the e-visa without email from the home office and it worked. My immigration status is now online.
What if you lost your brp I did lost and reported mine
The app failed to scan ( take photo) of the back of BRP . I tried both iphone and Android What can I do?
Same happened for me with I phone and endroid
@@midoulondon4179 what can we do? I am stuck from the beginning which is taking photo of the back of BRP ?
@@Dungdun select passport check not BRP
Received a congratulatory message for successful account creation and a sign in link. But no prompt to verify identity or link image. Not sure whay i did wrongly. Initiation was after the hime sent a mail with link to create the account
hey did u find the solution? im having the same problem. i cannot see any form to start with after signing in
How do we apply for our dependant
How long is valid
I am unable to scan my brp.. trying from many days
Hello, thank you for this video and the information that we benefited from, but I have some questions, about the types of phones or smartphones used for this application, because I have a smartphone(Galaxy A10s)but it does not have NFC. Can I use another phone for someone else, What should we do if we do not have a phone that has NFC?thank you very much
You can access the site using WiFi or your data allowance, just like any other website. Apology if I misunderstood your question.
Thank you very much
@@Ad-FreeYes ,I believe you’ve misunderstood the question ; it’s not about how to access the website but how to scan the chip in the BRP or passport it you don’t have a phone with NFC capability.
Please demonstrate how to scan the BRP
Just pray you're lucky scanning your BRP with your phone because I found this process to be most frustrating thing I've ever experienced applying for any visa in my 33 years on earth. There's a very particular way you need to scan the card else you'll be locked out of the system for 24hrs. I got locked out for weeks because it just wasn't working for me. First I thought my phone was faulty, then I tried scanning the app with multiple friends phones with no luck. I had to draw the conclusion that my BRP was broken. This required me to go in for a physical verification which cost me £140 for a 5 minutes verification. Good luck!
Hello how do i resolve this issue please, Mine has the 31-12-2024 expiry date on it but its actuall expired date is sopetember 2026, what should i put when it asks for the expiry date ?
I put the expiry that is on the card (31-12-2024)
May I ask if these eVISA is done in batches. I didt get any email but went ahead and register for ukvi account. I was able to do all the process and received an email to view my eVISA.its not showing, the status is showing the date I completed the process. Does it mean it’s because I did not receive email from home office yet?
A section from the UK Gov website: "The service will open to all BRP holders from summer 2024. Customers with BRPs do not need to do anything unless they receive an email, and don’t need to contact the Home Office if they do not receive an email immediately because the service will open to all in the summer. "
@@introvertedexpat Lovely thank you soo much for the information. Now i can calm my mind. 😀
Hi i have indefinite leave to remain in my passport what I don't have brp card what can I do for e visa
I am on the same boat as you. I wonder if I need to apply to the BRP first and then evisa? Visa sticker won't be valid??
I had lost mine BRP so I don’t know what to do since it needs to scan
One question how the e visa looks like is it also like a card OR a A4 size paper physically what look like OR just specific number?
It's not a card, it's an Electronic Visa. You can pull up the information online if needed
@@introvertedexpat thanks for replying, I appreciate
@introvertedexpat what about if I los my phone I think would be more worse
I em struggling to find the QR code. can you guide me about that? I have made an accoint and downloaded the app as well
It should be toward the bottom of the page after you put in your details. Try another browser.
Hey any timeline who’s currently receiving those emails to signup for evisa
Hey! The timeline for the initial email to get started? No word yet but it should be well before December 2024.
