https://www.gov.uk/biometric-residence- ... en-damagedYou cannot apply for a replacement BRP outside the UK. Instead, you’ll need to apply for a ‘replacement BRP visa’, which lets you re-enter the UK once only. It costs £154.
There is no risk. BRP application is NOT an immigration application. You can leave and return with a replacement visa as I explained to you.MoeAbbas wrote: ↑Fri Jul 30, 2021 3:39 pmJust so that I can understand fully, It is okay for me to leave while the application is still with home office, apply for a BRP replacement visa and come back with no trouble? Because I've been reading around and a lot of people keep using the word "risk" . I also read somewhere that i will need to inform home office that i am travelling so that they can cancel my current application.
The circumstances in the link you posted is totally different case. That person is applying for EUSS travel permit. The story in that link shows a mishandling by the UKVI. The person in that post was also never reported a lost BRP unlike the OP in this postuk_yaa wrote: ↑Fri Jul 30, 2021 4:54 pmHonestly, I'll say to check with an immigration lawyer first to ensure you'll be able to meet the requirements for a BRP replacement visa. I saw a thread on here of a lady with ILR who got stranded in her home country because she knowingly traveled without her BRP to visit her critically ill dad. Her BRP replacement visa application got flagged as complex by the Home Office and she's yet to hear back after over 5 months now, I believe. Apparently the BRP replacement visa is designed for lost/stolen BRPs in the country where you're applying from and you'll need to provide a valid police report from that country(they say it's an optional document but it's really required). For this visa route, the Home Office assumes that you left the UK with a valid BRP. It's not as straightforward as it seems. Here is the thread link - eea-route-applications/euss-replacement ... 17069.html
I'll advise you to thread cautiously. The Home Office can make a simple issue seem unnecessarily complex. My husband travelled while we were still waiting for his BRP. The lawyers advised to just wait for the BRP because he knowingly left the country without it, which you're advised in all home office emails not to do. My mum was really unwell and so this was urgent and they explained that the home office would not categorize it as urgent need for travel because it's not his direct family. Absurd, right?! It arrived after 50 days of countless emails and escalating to our MP... And I had it couriered to him so he could return.
Once you are out of the UK, there's not much you can do, should things go south.
May I ask if they accepted that "application successful" email as proof of grant of settlement?MoeAbbas wrote: ↑Sun May 23, 2021 6:43 pmHi everyone,
I wanted to ask about the documents needed for a BRP replacement (i hold an ILR). Due to a mistake from HM passport office my BRP got lost and I am applying for a replacement.
The documents I need to provide are a proof of address, my current passport and Original document showing grant of settlement, such as a vignette, passport, or RON 60 letter
I have a question concerning the last part. I obviously don't have a physical paper that show i was granted settlement, only and email from Home office stating that my application for ILR was successful. Would that be enough to send again to home office? or do i need to do anything else?
Help anyone?
Cheers
