At the end of the year (December 31st 2024) all Biometric Residency Permits (BRPs) will be replaced by eVisas.
It is extremely important that everyone who has a right to remain registers for an eVisa.
Many benefits and funding for things like childcare will require an eVisa so please make sure you inform all the households you know who have leave to remain.
According to the Home Office the registration process is easy and straightforward (see the guidance), and they made a video about it.
If you or anyone else is having difficulties with registration, St Vincents’ Support Centre, Refugee Employment Training Advice Service (RETAS) and Leeds Refugee Forum – who all provide OISC-accredited advice.
RETAS are currently working on some simpler guidance, and that will be published on the LMP blog as soon as we get hold of it.
For the time being, here’s an excellent resource from Right to Remain which explains what we know about the scheme so far.
