PSW Graduate Visa UK: Can You Travel with an Expired BRP? I UKVI Official Guidance

Are you on a Graduate PSW Visa in the UK and worried about traveling with an expired BRP card or issues generating your immigration share code? In this video, I share everything you need to know based on my personal experience and guidance directly from UKVI. Context: I recently applied for my PSW Graduate Visa in the UK, and my application was approved. While I received an email confirming my visa status with start and end dates, I faced unexpected challenges when trying to generate a share code for immigration purposes—an essential requirement for traveling abroad. This video provides a step-by-step update on how I navigated these challenges, what I learned from contacting UKVI, and the alternative solutions available if you’re in a similar situation. What’s Covered in the Video: 1. What Are Share Codes and Why Are They Important? If you’re on a Graduate Visa, you no longer receive a physical BRP card, and your immigration status is tied to an e-visa. Share codes are essential for: Proving your right to work. Proving your right to rent. Proving your immigration status, especially when traveling abroad. Each purpose requires a different share code, and these codes are valid for 90 days from the date of generation. 2. The Issue I Faced: While I was able to generate share codes for my right to work and right to rent, I encountered a persistent error when attempting to generate a share code for proving my immigration status. The error message simply said, "Service not available. Please try again later." This is a common issue that many people on Graduate Visas are currently facing. 3. UKVI Guidance on Traveling with an Expired BRP: After contacting the UKVI official team, I was informed that I can still travel abroad with my expired BRP card until Spring 2025. They explained that the expired BRP can act as proof of immigration status for now, as they work to resolve the ongoing issues with share code generation. To ensure clarity, I even received an email confirmation from UKVI, which I’ve shared in the video for your reference. (Check out the screenshot!) 4. Key Takeaways for Travellers: If you’re unable to generate an immigration share code, carrying your expired BRP card should suffice for travel until Spring 2025. However, I strongly recommend contacting UKVI directly to confirm your situation and avoid any last-minute surprises. Always carry printed copies of your UKVI email confirmation and supporting documents when traveling. 5. How to Contact UKVI: For any issues with your Graduate Visa, share codes, or BRP, contact UKVI directly via their official helpline or email. Their team is helpful and can provide guidance tailored to your case. 6. My Personal Travel Plans: I’m planning to travel soon and will be carrying my expired BRP along with all necessary documents.
