Updates include:

• the decommissioning of biometric cards, including Biometric Residence Permits/Card (BRP/BRC) confirming that individuals who currently use a physical immigration document, such as a BRP/BRC, or legacy paper document, should take action to create a UKVI account to access their eVisa to prove their right to work in the UK.  
• updates to Annex A: Lists of acceptable documents for manual right to work checks to confirm that a clipped British or Irish passport is a cancelled document and therefore not acceptable proof of right to work.

• an update to Annex D: Employment of Ukrainian nationals to confirm the opening of the Ukraine Permission Extension scheme on 4 February 2025.
