Find out what information you need to check is correct on your Biometric Residence Permit (BRP) and the instructions you must follow if you find an error in your BRP.
UKVI are changing to an electronic visa system. If your BRP says it expires on the 31 December 2024 then do not worry.
Your visa decision letter will tell you the actual end date of your immigration permission, and you will be able to check and prove your immigration status online after 2024. You do not need to take any action; the UKVI will contact you with further information in 2024.
You do not need to report this expiry date as an error.
You must check all the information in your BRP is correct.
You must check if the following information is correct:
You must check the number is: 23CYGN5K3
You can work 20 hours per week.
You can work 10 hours per week.
Your visa should cover the full length of your programme, plus a ‘wrap-up period’. This wrap-up period will vary depending on your programme length.
If your programme is less than 6 months, then the wrap-up period will be 1 month.
If you find an error in your BRP then you must report it online as soon as possible. You should report any errors within 10 days after you collect your BRP.
If you report an error after 10 days, then you may have to apply and pay for a replacement BRP.
UKVI should contact you in 5 working days after you reported the error online, but you may have to wait longer.
If you applied for a Student visa inside the UK and the error in your BRP is about your length of leave or conditions, then you need to apply for an administrative review.
