大家有谁知道永居卡有的是10年期限，有的是7年，请教有什么区别，比如2017-2027 和2017-2024，不明白为什么会有10年和7年，谢谢大家
没听说过7年的说法，只有2024年12月31日限制的说法。比如我的BRP卡有效期就是到这个时间。原因可以看链接 https://www.immigrationboards.com/indefinite-leave-to-remain/brp-expires-in-31-dec-2024-less-than-10-years-t184963.html
应该是欧盟关于新加密技术的要求。
Thank you for your email regarding a possible error with the expiry date on your Biometric Residence Permit (BRP).
The issue has now been investigated and the 31 December 2024 validity date is due to a requirement by the EU to restrict BRPs which do not incorporate the next generation of encryption technology.
As the UK intends to introduce the new technology during 2016 the date restriction affects only BRPs issued to adults with settled status (ILR/NTL).
Any BRP rightfully held on 01 July 2024 that is restricted will be replaced free of charge, with the balance of the 10 year period initially expected being issued on a new BRP.
This means that anyone who has paid a fee in expectation of receiving ten year evidence of settled status will still do so, but it will be spread over two BRPs.
The date restriction does not change the entitlements of the rightful holder to work, access services/benefits or travel. The rightful holder still has settled status.
I hope this information answers your queries.
Regards
BRP Error Team
我的就是2017到2024年，我朋友都是10年的，所以我不太明白我的就是7年，我知道到了2024年我们就需要更换新的指纹卡。谢谢你的信息。
