Under this system, most persons are granted a digital record of their immigration permission, an eVisa.eVisas have replaced biometric residence permits (BRPs) and the Home Office intends eVisas to fully replace biometric residence cards, ink stamps and vignettes in passports. eVisas maintain a record of a person’s identity, the route of immigration permission held, and the duration and conditions of their immigration permission.Persons who have an eVisa can use this system to view their immigration status, prove their right to work and rent in the UK and inform the Home Office of changes to their personal details. This guide provides guidance on the practicalities of using an eVisa and how persons can access help if they encounter difficulties with the system.Overview of key Home Office resourceseVisas: access and use your online immigration statusSet up a UKVI account to access your eVisaGet an eVisa if you have settlement in the UKView your eVisa and get
