Questions
I still have a BRP. Is this letter still useful?
Yes, but remember BRPs have been replaced by eVisas. The letter covers errors on either, and the guidance explains how to update your UKVI account.
Is correcting an error free?
Where UKVI made the mistake, correction is free. If the wrong detail came from your own application, you may need to pay and provide evidence.
Where do I send it?
Check GOV.UK ('eVisa help') for the current contact route. The letter has space for the reference number and address.
Is it in the Immigration Complete Bundle?
Yes. The Immigration Complete Bundle includes every DocPilot immigration template.
