eVisa applications now available to all
The Future Borders & Immigration System (FBIS) User Experience Advisory Group has advised that:
'From today (6 August 2024) if people have a biometric residence permit (BRP) that expires on 31 December 2024, they can now create a UKVI account and access their eVisa. They should do this before the expiry date of their BRP.They can use their travel document, such as a passport, or visa application reference number to create their UKVI account if they have lost their BRP card.
They should only request a replacement BRP if it has been lost or stolen and they have no other form of identity document to create a UKVI account.
If they cannot see their eVisa details as soon as they create their UKVI account, they do not need to anything. UKVI will contact them directly by email once their eVisa is available to view. They can use their BRP to prove their immigration status until their eVisa details are available.'
