UK BRP & eVisa Support
Immigration Document Guidance
Getting your UK immigration documents and digital immigration status organised can be confusing, particularly when you need to access an eVisa, manage a UKVI account, update personal information or prove your right to work or rent.
Global UK License provides administrative guidance and document support for eligible applicants dealing with UK UK BRP & eVisa Support related processes.
We can help you understand the information and documentation you may need, prepare for relevant online processes, and identify the appropriate official UK government service for your situation.
Important: Global UK License is an independent support service. We do not issue BRPs, eVisas, visas, immigration status or UKVI decisions. UK immigration decisions and official immigration records are handled by the UK Government, Home Office and UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI).
What Is a BRP?
A Biometric Residence Permit (BRP) was a physical immigration document used to demonstrate a person’s immigration status in the UK.
The UK has moved to a digital immigration system. GOV.UK confirms that BRPs have now expired and have been replaced by eVisas, which provide a digital record of identity and immigration status.
If you previously held a BRP and still have permission to stay in the UK, you may need to access your immigration status through your UKVI account and eVisa.
Our support can help you understand the transition from physical immigration documents to digital immigration status and identify the appropriate official process.
What Is a UK eVisa?
An eVisa is a digital record of your identity and UK immigration status. It can show information about your permission to stay in the UK and conditions attached to your status, such as whether you are permitted to work or study.
An eVisa is not a physical card. You normally access it through a UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI) account.
You may use your online immigration status to demonstrate your status to organisations such as employers or landlords by generating an appropriate share code.
UK BRP & eVisa Support Services
Our UK BRP and eVisa support covers practical administrative guidance for people who need help understanding their immigration documents or accessing their digital immigration status.
UKVI Account Guidance
A UKVI account is used to access your eVisa and online immigration status.
We can provide guidance on:
- Understanding the UKVI account process
- Identifying information needed to access an eVisa
- Understanding how your identity document connects to your account
- Navigating the official online process
- Understanding account and document requirements
- Identifying the correct GOV.UK service when you encounter difficulties
GOV.UK states that people need a UKVI account to access their eVisa. Existing account holders should generally use their existing account rather than creating another one.
eVisa Access Support
If you have permission to stay in the UK, your immigration status may now be recorded digitally rather than on a physical BRP.
We can provide guidance on accessing your eVisa and understanding the information displayed on your digital immigration record.
This can include guidance relating to:
- eVisa access
- UKVI account information
- Immigration status
- Personal details
- Passport information
- Share codes
- Right to work
- Right to rent
- Travel-related immigration information
BRP to eVisa Guidance
If you previously relied on a BRP, the transition to an eVisa may require you to understand how your digital status works.
GOV.UK confirms that BRPs have been replaced by eVisas. Some expired BRPs may still be usable for limited purposes, including accessing an eVisa or creating a UKVI account, subject to the government’s current rules.
We can help you understand what the transition means and direct you to the relevant official government service.
UK Immigration Status Support
Your immigration status can affect how you demonstrate your permission to work, rent or remain in the UK.
An eVisa records your identity and immigration status and can contain information about your rights and conditions in the UK.
Our support helps you understand the administrative side of accessing and using your immigration status information.
Share Code Guidance
A share code can be used to allow an employer, landlord or another authorised organisation to check relevant information about your immigration status.
GOV.UK states that an eVisa holder can generate a share code to prove immigration status, including for purposes such as work or renting accommodation. Share codes are time-limited and can be generated again when required.
We can help explain:
- What a share code is
- Which type of check you may need
- Where to obtain a share code
- What information may be requested
- How to use the official GOV.UK service
Right to Work Guidance
If you are not a British or Irish citizen, you may need to demonstrate your right to work in the UK to an employer.
Depending on your circumstances, this may involve an online share code or eligible immigration documents.
Our support can help you understand the documentation and online process relevant to your circumstances.
Important: Having an eVisa or immigration document does not automatically mean that every person has unrestricted permission to work. Your actual immigration status and conditions determine your rights.
Right to Rent Guidance
If you are renting privately in England, you may need to demonstrate your right to rent.
The Home Office provides an online service for checking the right to rent of eligible tenants. Where a person has an eVisa, their right to rent can be evidenced through the Home Office online service using a share code.
Our role is to provide administrative guidance and help you understand the official process.
The Right to Rent Scheme applies to England and has different rules from other parts of the UK.
Immigration Document Guidance
We can provide general administrative guidance relating to documents that may be relevant to UK immigration status, including:
- Passport
- BRP
- BRC
- eVisa
- UKVI account information
- Immigration status documents
- Visa information
- Biometric information
- Supporting documentation
The exact documents required depend on your individual immigration circumstances and the official process you are using.
