38 VISA-FREE Countries for UK BRP/ILR (eVisa) Holders (2026)

***

Are digital UK eVisas accepted instead of BRP cards?

Since 31 December 2024, the UK has replaced physical BRP cards with new digital eVisas. It’s been close to a year, and many countries are still catching up on this new update.

If your BRP card is still unexpired (valid), you can continue to use that to travel to any of the countries below. Even though, as per UKVI, you are required to create a UKVI account and download your eVisa, many countries consider your “unexpired” UK BRP card as proof of legal residence status in the UK.

If your BRP card has expired and you only have a digital eVisa, look for countries that accept digital eVisas in place of BRP cards.

For each country in the list, I have noted whether digital eVisas are accepted. I highlighted this in green and red so there is no confusion. Below is the explanation of each of these highlights.

Are digital eVisas accepted?	What does this mean?
ACCEPTED	UK eVisa prints are accepted and you must have a share code to prove that you have legal residence status in the UK.
NOT ACCEPTED	UK eVisa prints are NOT accepted. You must have a physical “unexpired” UK BRP card to prove your legal residence status in the UK.
UNCLEAR	I could not confirm whether a UK eVisa print is accepted or not. I recommend carrying your physical “unexpired” UK BRP card. If your BRP card already expired, then you will have to wait for this country to catch up and start accepting eVisas. I will continue to monitor these countries and update as soon as they start to accept digital eVisas.

Until all countries start to accept digital eVisas, make sure to carry both the physical BRP card and the eVisa print. We never know which one they would like to see.

Do you need a Share Code for UK eVisa?

If you are carrying an eVisa print, the airline staff at the time of check-in or the immigration officers at the airport may ask for a share code. The share code helps them verify the authenticity of your residence status in the UK.

You can generate a share code from within your UKVI account. Share code is valid for 90 days, so you can use it for multiple trips.

Now, let’s look at each of these countries and their requirements.
