Mods Suggest you make this a sticky!

BRP expiring December 2024 and your proof of ILR.

I have been advised as follows:
1 Please see https://www.gov.uk/guidance/online-immi ... atus-evisa.

2 The Home Office is moving towards a digital immigration system. Using a phased approach to implementing digital services, the aim is that by 2025 most customers will have a secure and seamless digital journey when they interact with the UK's immigration system. This means they are replacing physical documents, including biometric residence permits, with accessible, easy to use online and digital services and products such as the eVisa.
Documents to be replaced are: (see Evisa web site )
Biometric residence permits (BRP)
Biometric residence cards (BRC)
Passport endorsements, such as indefinite leave to enter wet ink stamps
Vignette stickers in passports, such as entry clearance or visa vignettes
3 The Home office are developing technology to enable carriers (including Thai Airways) to check immigration status automatically via systems checks. We anticipate this technology will be available for use.by all carriers by the end of 2024, at which point we expect to remove the use of physical documents as proof of immigration status for all nationalities.
4 eVisa will be associated with the passport used when making the most recent application to the Home Office. You will need to register for a UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI) account to see you eVisa, as well as share information about your immigration status and conditions. You will also be able to update personal details through you UKVI account, such as contact details and current passport information. You will not have to pay to register but should ensure you passport details are always correctly updated so that you status can be verified by carriers using the automated system.
5 You do not have to take any action now. Throughout 2024 we will provide updates on when BRP holders should register for a UKVI account, and what they need to do.
6 More information about eVisas can be found at:
https://www.gov.uk/guidance/online-immi ... atus-evisa.
7 I recommend that you ensure that your Change of Circumstances Form Data (MCC) is up to date. Google search Migrant Change of circumstances form
or https://www.gov.uk/change-circumstances-visa-brp

Have Fun and happy new year
