As part of the Government's digitisation of the UK immigration system, physical documents, including biometric residence permits (BRPs), which are currently used to prove immigration status, are being phased out and replaced with eVisas by the end of 2024. Employers will need to take steps to update their impacted workplace population, and implement processes to complete follow-up right to work checks where required.
Notes section updated to reflect that employers are no longer required to carry out follow up right to work checks for employees who have pre-settled status under the EU settlement scheme.
Updated to remove digital certificates of application under the EU settlement scheme from group 2 as these can now be checked using an online right to work check.
