No.
Correct. The above is the recommended course of action. Probably your only choice.After doing research, I understand that my options are limited to applying to one of the following:
- EU Settlement Scheme (EUSS) Family Permit (Free to apply)
No. Where do you get this from? She doesn't need to re apply for a visa. She already has Settled Status.or - Replacement BRP Visa (£154 application fee)
Your best shot is to apply as soon as possible, and report your timelines. I don't think there is a dedicated thread for EUSS Family Permits, but nothing stopping you from starting one.I was also trying to find out what the general turnaround times are to get a response to an application to one of the above but could not find anything.
This is the page I got this information from:or - Replacement BRP Visa (£154 application fee)
No. Where do you get this from? She doesn't need to re apply for a visa. She already has Settled Status.
I believe that refers to UK Tier route (?) Useful if you share where you get that from.
If you’re outside the UK
You cannot apply for a replacement BRP if it expires while you are 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.
You can apply for a replacement BRP when you return to the UK. You must do this within 3 months of its expiry unless you have a good reason, for example you were unable to return to the UK in that time.
I guess I will crack on with applying for the EUSS Family Permit and report back on here with the timelines.After doing research, I understand that my options are limited to applying to one of the following:

Yes, that's it. BRP is UK Tier system. BRC is the old EEA card, so not the same thing. Your wife has BRC.
I thought this was not an option for you, hence why I didn't suggest this, but yes this would be a clear easy option.Also - I was thinking as a possible other option, if my wife was to travel back to the UK before her Residence Card expired,
Does she actually need to travel back? There are a two caveats on doing this:then made an application to change her BRC to one issued under EUSS rules, submitted the application online and did all the biometrics etc., then flew back out here and when the card eventually arrived, got someone from our household to post it out to her here so she could use it to return to the UK - would that be something worth considering? Or is that something likely to be against the rules?
Thanks again
Its probably not a realistic option - going by what I've read on other threads it seems that after applying the date to do the biometrics takes about another month then after that the card could take any number of months so there seems to be too many unknowns in terms of time scale, with the posibility that my wife would be stranded abroad waiting for the card to arriveAlso - I was thinking as a possible other option, if my wife was to travel back to the UK before her Residence Card expired,

Yes she would need to travel back - but again this options has too many uncertainties, time scale, documents potentially being lost in the post etc. - I think will probably go with applying through the EUSS Family Permitthen made an application to change her BRC to one issued under EUSS rules, submitted the application online and did all the biometrics etc., then flew back out here and when the card eventually arrived, got someone from our household to post it out to her here so she could use it to return to the UK - would that be something worth considering?

1. Some countries don't allow posting documents by post.
2. Her new card might take months to be issued. Mine took over 4 months.

As far as I can tell, it looks like the application for Travel Permit is the same as for Family Permit (both fall under rule FP4), the only difference is that what they are issued is called Travel Permit, but the applicant won't do anything different. It's up to the case worker to decide which one to give (Family Permit or Travel Permit, depending on which criteria the applicant meets: under rules FP6(1),(2) or FP6(3)).Jesus Christ is Lord wrote: ↑Mon Nov 15, 2021 3:09 amplease check this link below its explains every things there is option for those people whose BRC has expired or lost/stolen outside uk and hold status under euss settlement scheme to apply for EUSS travel permit from outside uk.

You have to pay for that. Whilst Travel Permit and Family Permit are Free.
Sadly, nowadays the timeline of FP and TP is the biggest drawback (it was not the case before covid, they used to be quite fast). But sometimes it is the only option. Every case is different.we were in this situation, we considered both BRC visa and EUSS family permit, ended up going with EUSS family permit, after that I was wondering why we didn't consider simply a tourist visa(if it's a valid option),
if tourist visa is a valid option , and we would go through this again, we may consider it for these reasons:
it comes with an estimated time, unlike EUSS permit where there is no estimates or clear deadline for escalation, it took us 4 months and we were completely in the dark in that time specially that we were not expecting these issues,
