Immigration Update: The UK's New eVisa

What employers should know about the UK's new eVisa

As we approach the December 31 deadline for the transformation of UK immigration status documents from passport stamps and physical documents to the new eVisa, it is important to be aware of the consequences for employees. We provide a simple guide to share with HR teams, friends, family, and colleagues who may be affected by the digitalisation of UK immigration.

The eVisa transition

The new eVisa is a digital record of immigration status that will replace physical documents such as Biometric Residence Permits (BRPs). It will not affect people's immigration status, only how they prove it in order to access certain rights such as working, renting, travelling, and health and welfare services.
