The difference between brp card and visa card

1 Simply put, it is a residence card with your fingerprints, photos and other biological information. Biometric information card is a voucher for cardholders to work, study and use public services in the UK.

Card is a new visa policy implemented by UKVI. For China citizens who applied for a visa in the UK from April 2 15, if the visa application time is more than 6 months, they need to go to the post office to collect their biometric information cards within 1 days of their arrival in the UK.

The information on this card includes: name, place of birth, date of birth, fingerprint information and photos, immigration information (allowable stay time), and whether social welfare and medical care can be used in the UK. In fact, you can use this card as your ID card in Britain. When you apply for a visa, the system will prompt you and ask for confirmation. Are you sure you want to get the BRP card at the following address? This address is usually based on the zip code of the school and the nearby post office.
