📘 Additional Topics You Should Understand
✳️ BRP Expiry and eVisa registration Transition
Even if your BRP card says it expires in 2024, your visa may go beyond that. This is due to the eVisa registration system being introduced to replace the cards. Don’t panic—but act early! 😓
✳️ EU Settlement Scheme Users
Those under the EU Settlement Scheme already use a digital status but should still ensure all data is up to date 🏛️.
✳️ eVisa registration for Employers and Landlords
Employers can check your eVisa registration status via a share code 🏢. Tenants must also prove their right to rent. If your data is not available online, you may face rejection.
