Attention recruiters and employers – if your hiring process for non-UK and Irish candidates relies on Biometric Residence Permits (BRPs), it’s time to prepare for a digital future. By 31 December 2024, BRPs will no longer be valid, replaced by an online system built around eVisas. Here’s everything you need to know and how Amiqus can make the transition easier.
So, what’s changing?
The UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI) department is shifting towards a fully digital immigration system. This means that physical documents like BRPs are being replaced by secure, online records of an individual’s immigration status i.e. eVisas. These changes are designed to make it easier and safer for individuals to manage and share their immigration status.
Key benefits of eVisas include:
- Enhanced security: eVisas can’t be lost, stolen or tampered with like physical documents
- Faster processes: no more waiting for or collecting physical documents after applications are approved
- Simplicity: easier sharing of immigration status with employers, landlords, and others through the UKVI’s ‘View and Prove’ service
How does this affect employers?
International candidates will use the UKVI’s online View and Prove service to generate a share code. This code allows you to check their Right to Work directly through the Home Office’s online checking service.
Simple enough? But collecting and verifying these share codes can feel like one more thing on your already full plate. That’s where Amiqus comes in.
