Individuals who have been granted Limited Leave to Remain or Indefinite Leave to Remain may notice their Biometric Residence Permits (BRPs) have an expiry date of 31 December 2024, even if their permission period is longer or indefinite.
If your BRP card is due to expire on 31 December 2024 and you were granted leave beyond this date, there is no need to be concerned. For precise information concerning your immigration permission dates, applicants should review their decision letter when they were granted their visa status in the UK.
The Home Office has stated that as of January 1, 2025, individuals will not require a BRP to prove their status. Instead, they will be able to validate their immigration status through the view and confirm your immigration status service online. The Home Office plans to facilitate online proof of status, with details on the process expected in early 2024. The expiration date on the BRP does not necessarily affect one’s immigration status.
Existing BRP holders can utilise online verification services to validate their right to work and right to rent in the UK, ensuring accurate information regarding their right to remain.
The Home Office is expected to provide further clarification in early 2024 on how individuals can prove their status.
