Re: BRP replacement this year

The UK government has just updated their guidance for say they are no longer issuing replacements and to prove status online. Keep carrying your physical document, if you have one. https://www.gov.uk/guidance/online-immigration-status-evisa I'm not happy I paid to have my fingerprints taken for the ...

Re: BRP replacement this year

I also applied for my replacement BRP (IRL) in June and no sign of it yet. I'm currently traveling on an expired BRP (but valid settlement status) and hoping for the best. My airline grilled us before we were allowed to check in so I'm a bit worried for checking in for my return flight. On the way ...

Re: eVisa and ILR - fee - biometrics FREE?

I thought the same when I had to renew my BRP recently. Appointments in the near future have a cost (even though the BRP renewal itself was free). When I checked appointments a few weeks in the future, I could find a few free appointments but because I needed the renewal quicker, I couldn't afford ...

Re: UKVI ID check app not scanning BRP

My BRP is from 2014 and I also had issues scanning my BRP with the app. I even downloaded another app to check that NFC on my phone works (and it does), so it's the card not the phone. Unfortunately I can't help as I ended up using my passport which has a chip. I hope you find a resolution soon.

Re: BRP ILR card

If you've recently applied for a replacement BRP (ILR), can you please share how long it took? I have to travel mid September but only just applied for my replacement so I think I won't get it in time :( As I hold a Canadian passport, I think I can still travel back into the UK though as we don't ...

Re: BRP ILR card

I know we can enter the country as non-visa nationals, however, do we then need to provide proof of length of stay, return ticket etc? That's the part I'm not clear about ... I know I have ILR but if I can't 'prove' it without a valid BRP card, then I'd be treated as a tourist and have to leave ...

Re: BRP ILR card

Thanks Henry83. After you submitted your Biometrics and the 3rd party agency submitted your docs/biometrics for you, did you receive a confirmation from UKVI that they have received your application? I only have an email saying my online application was submitted from before I booked my biometrics ...

Re: BRP lost, get a new one or apply for eVisa directly?

My BRP has expired but I managed to get an eVisa so I can view my settled status online. I contacted UKVI to ask if I still needed to apply for a physical BRP as I needed to travel and this was their response: Thank you for your email enquiry dated 16 June 2024 regarding creating a UKVI account. We ...

Re: Clarification on information in email received to apply for evisa

First of all, thank you to everyone who has shared information in this chat. I have IRL and an expired BRP card (expired in May). When I came back into the UK recently, the border guard noticed my card had expired and mentioned something about eVisas and just let me in. He told me to just go online ...
