EHCVS Partners with Home Office to Support Vulnerable Residents with eVisa Transition
EHCVS has announced its renewed partnership with the Home Office to help vulnerable residents in Ealing and Hounslow navigate the UK’s new eVisa system.
This initiative is part of the government’s plan to create a “contactless border†through a fully digital immigration system, with all visa holders expected to switch to eVisas by 2025.
Starting January 1, 2025, Biometric Residence Permits (BRPs) will be phased out, with eVisas becoming the primary proof of immigration status in the UK. The move affects current BRP holders, many of whom have documents set to expire on December 31, 2024, regardless of their permission to remain in the UK.
EHCVS is providing support for vulnerable residents in both boroughs.
