The latest “what could possibly go wrong” in the roll out of eVisas is that the Home Office has (I think) without notice announced that they will no longer be replacing lost or stolen biometric residence permits. If someone has lost their BRP or if it has been stolen, the Home Office says they can use their travel document and visa application number to create their eVisa account. Fingers crossed anyone in this position has both of those things to hand I suppose.
Our step by step guide takes you through the process of applying with a BRP but does include mention of the option of applying for the eVisa without one. If anyone does successfully or unsuccessfully try to navigate this process then do share your experiences (any problems should be reported to the3million here). Hopefully the process won’t be too different or difficult for those who have been unfortunate enough to be parted from their card, but I won’t be surprised if we start hearing some horror stories sooner rather than later.
