Biometric Residence Permit
(BRP)
A Biometric Residence Permit is a card issued to non-EEA nationals who have been granted leave to remain in the UK for more than six months. It acts as proof of the holder's right to live, work, and study in the UK and stores biometric information (fingerprints and a facial image). BRPs are being phased out and replaced by eVisas, with most holders now being directed to create a UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI) account to prove their immigration status digitally.
