UK extends deadline for migrants to replace physical immigration documents with e-visas

The United Kingdom has extended temporary arrangements allowing holders of expired Biometric Residence Permits (BRPs) and Biometric Residence Cards (BRCs) to continue accessing certain immigration services as the country advances its transition to a fully digital immigration system, according to an update published by Fragomen.

Under the revised arrangements, holders of expired BRPs can continue using the documents to access most e-visa services until December 31, 2026. The extension replaces an earlier deadline that would have ended acceptance of expired BRPs in June 2026.
