UK Right To Work - Important Changes Starting April 2022

Currently, the following right to work checks are available for UK employers:

1. Online right to work check for BRP¹, BRC² and FWP³
2. Manual right to work check for all visa holders and non-migrants (British, Irish nationals, or people with right of abode in the UK).
3. Adjusted right to work check for all visa holders and non-migrants (British, Irish nationals, or people with right of abode in the UK) using scanned documents and video appointments to cater to COVID-19 remote working.

Changes to be implemented as of April 6, 2022:

• From April 6, 2022, BRC, BRP and FWP holders will evidence their right to work using the Home Office online service only. Employers will no longer be able to accept manual or adjusted scanned documents for the purposes of a right to work check, even if they show a later expiry date. BRCs, BRPs, and FWPs will be removed from the lists of acceptable documents used to conduct a manual right to work check.
