Evisa for Biometric Residence Card
Posted: Sat Mar 22, 2025 2:45 am
My Egyptian mum received her residence card on 27/09/2020 written on it from up RESIDENCE CARD then Name, Valid until, Place and date of issue, Type of permit "EU SCHEME PRE-SETTLEMENT"and remarks " WORK PERMIT, LEAVE TO REMAIN".
She is back home now and intending to enter the UK tomorrow.
This is the first quote from her acceptance Pre- settlement letter dated 27/09/2020.
"I am pleased to inform you that your application under the EU Settlement Scheme has been successful and that you have been granted Limited Leave in the United Kingdom under Appendix EU to the Immigration Rules. This is also referred to as pre-settled status"
Once we access her UKVI account to proof her status or get a share code, it requests us to link her passport to the Evisa.
We tried to do the evisa linking or getting a share code from her UKVI account but unfortunately the APP didn't accept taking photo for her residence card mentioning "YOU ARE USING THE WRONG TYPE OF DOCUMENT. YOU MUST TAKE AN IMAGE OF YOUR BIOMETRIC RESIDENCE PERMIT".
But we can still access the update status link showing her name, passport number, her photo but doesn't mention any status.
My questions are
1. Can she enter the UK without evisa or linking her passport?
Just with her residence card which is still valid till 28/09/2025
2. Is there a difference between biometric residence card and biometric residence permit?
3. Is her biometric residence card needs changing with a biometric residence permit?
4. How can we process the evisa?
Thank you in advance
