Traveling with old BRC.

Post by claraluh » Sun May 01, 2022 11:28 pm

Hi Everyone,

My sister is a non-eu and has permanent residence in UK since 2016, her BRC with permanent status expires in 2026. In 2020 she applied and was granted Settled status but she never applied to change her BRC to the new Settlement scheme version. Her daughter’s birthday is now in July and we got tickets to visit Paris’ Disneyland but I wasn’t aware that her BRC wasn’t updated. (Her daughter already holds a British Citizenship).

Question is, if my sister is not able to get the new BRC with settled status, is she allowed to travel only with old BRC still valid until 2026 and Settled status letter???

Many Thanks in advance.

Assuming you mean "only BRC" = "passport and BRC". Yes, no issues there. She doesn't even need the letter; her status is linked to the old document (if she applied with her old BRC using the app, etc. producing the old BRC will show she has settled status).

Even after replacing my old BRC with the new Settled Status one, I've been able to use either to enter the UK, with absolutely no issues. So the old BRC does not get invalidated for having a new status under the settlement scheme, or even replacing it with a new BRC.

Yes, She still has the same passport and BRC she used to get the Settled Status. The only concern was the old BRC as permanent resident, but very relieved now as I’m really looking forward for this trip. Thanks :D
