Setting up eVisa while waiting for ILR (Set M) Decision

Post by Brook536 » Fri Jul 05, 2024 7:39 am

Hello,

I have received my email regarding replacing my BRP with an eVisa.
I applied for Indefinite Leave to Remain (Set M) at the end of May, though my current BRP does not expire until 30th July.
Should I set up my eVisa account now or wait until ILR has been granted?

Many thanks.

You can do either. I'm sure that the system would upgrade your status when it arrives.

You can also wait as you wouldn't be travelling till you receive your ILR. Entirely up to you.
No sin in failing, you just have to try and try again!

eVisa has nothing to do with your current BRP. An eVisa is expected to track and show your most recent immigration status
