Since 2021, many UK work and student visas have been issued electronically instead of as physical biometric residence permits (BRPs). The Home Office is planning to replace all BRPs currently in circulation with electronic visas from 1 January 2025 to coincide with BRP expiry dates at the end of 2024. In this episode, Osheenn Giam and Magali Ferreyra discuss the pros and cons of the electronic visas and the challenges they have seen so far.
