Get your eVisa before the December 31, BRP Expiry Date
Most Biometric Residence Permits (BRPs) expire on December 31, 2024. This does not mean your visa ends on this date; it simply indicates that the Government is transitioning to an online, digital system.
If your BRP expires on this date, it is crucial to act before then to maintain your legal status in the UK. The Home Office will ask you to create an account for your eVisa before December 31, 2024.
