From 6 April 2022, the way right to work checks are conducted is
changing.
Virtual or “adjusted” right to work checks will no
longer be acceptable
Virtual checks were only ever intended as a temporary concession
because of the pandemic. While they have been repeatedly extended
throughout the pandemic, the Home Office is adamant that they will
end once and for all, with 5 April 2022 being the final date on
which they can be validly conducted. From 6 April 2022, they will
cease to be acceptable. Employers will have to revert to conducting
manual checks where permissible, or online checks via the Home
Office's website (see below).
