If you had a BRP that expired on 31 December 2024 and have now set up your UKVI account, or you have recently been issued with an eVisa, you may be wondering what this means for your future travel in and out of the UK.

The Home Office has suggested that international travel will be easier using the digital eVisa system and has produced this video guide and online guidance. Based on this guidance, this post sets out the steps you should follow when travelling with an eVisa.

For an introduction to eVisas, see our earlier post, 'From BRPs to eVisas: The UK's Digital Immigration Transition'. This Home Office factsheet also provides a useful introduction to the transition to eVisas.
