BRP cards replaced with E-visas – important news

Home News BRP cards replaced with E-visas – important news

If your BRP card is expiring on 31st December 2024 you will need to have this replaced with an E-Visa by registering for an E-visa account with the Home Office.   This service is free. This link will take you to the  Government website where you can apply for your E-visa account. 

Please note that this does not mean that your leave to remain/visa is expiring. Please check your letter from the Home Office explaining your grant of leave to find out the date your leave to remain is expiring which may be different to 31st December 2024.

If you are having difficulty registering for the E-visa account yourself, the Home Office has published a list of organisations who are helping people to register for their E-Visa account for free.  If you live in England, you should contact Migrant Help at:

Migrant Help

Telephone: 07483 170100

Email: evisa@migranthelpuk.org

For those who may need further assistance, they can use the Home Office’s webchat here.

If you want legal advice about this, the Law Centre can provide one-off advice at the  immigration law evening advice clinic. We cannot register your E-Visa account for you at this session but we can advise you on how to do this. To book yourself onto a session please ring the Law Centre on 020 7538 4909.
