All biometric residence permit holders can now apply for an eVisa

04.12.2024 Home Office minister makes statement on eVisas. Extending use of expiring BRPs on or after 31 December 2024 as valid evidence of permission to travel until at least 31 March and this date will be kept under review

The Home Office changed its official web-page on the eVisa to say that everyone with a biometrics residence permit can now apply for an eVisa, we have previously already written an article about the procedure on creating an account and setting it up in order to apply for an eVisa.

This change is described as “Updated wording to include details for out of country applicants.”:

If you have a biometric residence permit (BRP) that expires on 31 December 2024, you can now create a UKVI account and access your eVisa. You should do this before the expiry date of your BRP. 

Previously, the procedure for getting an eVisa was supposed to become available to all applicants in September 2024. With the given update, that has changed and has been made available much earlier.
