Reduction in replacement fees and digital BRP letters
On 9 November 2022, UKVI released its updated list of fees all the fees remained unchanged, except for the cost of Replacement Biometric Residence Cards (BRPs), which has been reduced from £56.00 to £19.00.
Further announcements UKVI has streamlined parts of the BRP process for individuals making entry clearance applications (applying for visas outside of the UK) with a duration of more than six months. From 10 October 2022, BRP letters are now issued via e-mail only. Individuals will no longer collect a physical letter at the Visa Application Centre. Therefore, it is important that individuals use their own personal, up-to-date email address, or one that is easily accessible when completing their visa application.
This is part of the Home Office’s ongoing transformation to a digital enabled process.
