he government has replaced physical immigration documents with digital proof of immigration status for customers already living in the UK and new visa customers too.

Changes to immigration status in the UK

Almost all physical immigration products and services have been replaced with a digital record of a person’s immigration status, called an eVisa. The documents being replaced include:

  • Biometric residence permits (BRPs)
  • Legacy paper documents, including passports that contain an ink stamp or vignette sticker (where the holder has indefinite leave to enter or indefinite leave to remain)
  • Biometric residence cards (BRCs)
