BRP to eVisa: key information for Indian passport holders in the UK
The United Kingdom is replacing physical Biometric Residence Permits with an online immigration status (eVisa) for many migrants. If you hold an Indian passport and previously relied on a BRP, you should migrate your permission to a UKVI account before travel.
WhatsApp usWhat you should verify
- That your eVisa shows the correct leave type and end date
- That your passport details on the UKVI account match your current passport
- That airlines can view your status if you travel internationally
India travel is separate
Your UK immigration status does not replace an Indian visa or OCI card for entry to India. Continue to use the correct Indian travel document for each journey.
