If you are aspiring to study in the UK for the upcoming academic intake, we've got some fresh updates that you won't want to miss. The United Kingdom is changing its immigration system with the introduction of eVisas. That's right – the UK government is planning to change the physical biometric residency permits to digital visas. With the latest implementations, it is anticipated that by 2025, nearly all visa holders living in the UK will have an eVisa. Immigrants already in the UK can be rest assured as this won’t affect their current immigration status or rights in the UK.

To put things into action, the Home Office has already started sending emails to all foreign nationals with physical immigration documents from 17^th April 2024. Commonly known as biometric residence permits (BRPs), these physical documents are proof of immigration status. The government plans to send these invitation emails in phases before the process of digitalization commences in Summer 2024 for all BRP holders.
