The UK eVisa is part of the UK government's move toward a fully digital immigration system. It replaces physical immigration documents like Biometric Residence Permits (BRP), Biometric Residence Cards (BRC), and visa vignettes with a secure, online proof of your immigration status.

What is UK eVisa?

A UK eVisa is a digital record of your UK immigration status. It shows your visa details online instead of using a physical document like a Biometric Residence Permit (BRP), Biometric Residence Card (BRC), or a visa sticker in your passport.
