Why is this happening?

For years, the BRP card has been the standard way to prove your right to live, work, and study in the UK. However, the Home Office is moving towards a “digital-first” system. By digitising immigration status, the UK government aims to make it easier for people to access and share their status securely online, reducing the risk of lost or stolen physical cards.

The most important thing to remember is this: Your immigration permission (e.g., your right to remain, your visa expiry date) remains exactly the same. Only the mechanism for proving your status is being updated. DiuMitra’s advisory goal is to ensure you feel informed and prepared during this shift.

Who needs to act?

You likely need to take action if you fall into one of these categories:

  • You hold a BRP: Even if your card is valid for a few more years, you should begin the transition.
  • You hold a vignette/sticker: If you have an entry visa sticker in your passport, you must register for an eVisa.
  • You have Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR): If you have status but no physical card (often called “wet ink” stamps), you still need to create a digital record.

Are you already set? If you have already created a UKVI account and linked your current passport, you are likely ahead of the curve. However, it is a good practice to log in and ensure your passport details are still up to date.

Why Choose DiuMitra for Your eVisa?

The shift to a “digital-first” immigration system has left many feeling uncertain. While the Home Office provides the portal, they do not provide personal support to resolve technical hurdles. That is where we step in.

The 3-Step Transition Process

Transitioning to an eVisa is straightforward when broken down. Use this guide to stay organized.

1

Gather Your Essentials

Before beginning, ensure you have these items ready:

  • ID: Your BRP or Passport reference numbers.
  • Reference: Your UAN or GWF number.
  • Access: An email you check frequently.
  • Device: A smartphone for the ‘UK Immigration: ID Check’ app.
2

Set Up Your UKVI Account

Visit the official GOV.UK portal to register. This account serves as the central digital home for your immigration status.

3

Identity Verification

Complete your verification via the mobile app.

Pro Tip: Use a well-lit area with a plain background. Keep your phone steady during document and facial scans.

How to use your eVisa for daily life

Once you have your eVisa, your life in the UK becomes more streamlined.

Travelling Abroad

Linking your current passport to your UKVI account is the #1 way to avoid issues at border control. When you renew your passport, remember to log into your UKVI account and update your new passport details. If you don’t, border agents may not be able to verify your status.

Right to Work and Rent

You no longer need to show a physical card to employers or landlords. Instead, you will generate a “Share Code” from your UKVI account. This code gives them temporary, secure access to view your status, providing them with the proof they need without you having to hand over a physical document.
