UK CHANGES VISA PROCESS FOR NON-EEA NATIONALS
UK Visas & Immigration will begin to issue Biometric Residence Permits (BRPs) for non-EEA nationals travelling to the UK for more than six months. The changes will affect those applying to settle in the UK, as well as students and workers applying for a longer-stay visa.
From this date, applicants will receive a 30-day sticker in their passport instead of a ‘vignette’ with the full grant of leave. Applicants will be required to collect their BRP from a post office within ten days of arrival in the UK. The BRP card can then be used as proof of right to work, study and access public services in the UK.
Applicants will receive a letter, if their application is successful, which provides detailed information about collecting their BRP. Details can be found here - https://www.gov.uk/government/world-location-news
