The UK’s immigration system is currently undergoing digitization, whereby the way in which visas are issued and the way persons prove their status in the UK are changing.
In January 2021, the EU restrictions on format were lifted and the system moved to issuing a new UK format of Biometric Residence Permit (BRP). However, the Home Office continued thereafter with plans to digitalise the system.
In line with the Home Office plan to digitalise the system, they continued to short date all Biometric Residence Permits to no later than 31-12-2024 hence, most applicants now receive a Biometric Residence Permit which expires sooner than their current leave to remain in the UK.
If you hold a UK work, study, or family visa, under the new digital immigration system, you will need to obtain an online immigration status.
If you have used any of our Option-3 legal representation services or any associated organisations service within the past five years for Leave to enter or Leave to remain in the UK and you were yet to be notified by us regarding the new UK eVISA switching. You can now complete our UK eVISA request form here to begin the process.
