This page explains how you should apply for a Replacement BRP visa if you are outside the UK and your UK biometric residence permit has been lost, stolen or damaged because someone has tampered with it.
(If you are inside the UK and your UK biometric residence permit has been lost, stolen or damaged because someone has tampered with it, please see the Permit-holders' responsibilities page.)
If you are outside the UK, you must immediately email BRPLost@homeoffice.gsi.gov.ukso that we can cancel your biometric residence permit. In your email you should state:
your full name;
your date of birth;
your nationality;
your passport number;
your biometric residence permit reference number;
your case reference number;
your contact details; and
when, where and how the permit was lost, stolen or damaged.
when you plan to return to the UK.
If you do not provide all this information, there may be a delay in answering your query.
You must also report the loss or theft to the police, and get a police report and crime reference number, as soon as possible.
You must then apply for a Replacement BRP visa, which you can use once to return to the UK. The visa does not replace your lost or stolen biometric residence permit.
When you arrive back in the UK, you will need to apply for a new biometric residence permit - see the Permit-holders' responsibilities page for more information.
How to apply for the visa
Depending on where you live, you may be able to make your visa application online or by printing out and completing application form VAF9. You can find out which method(s) you can use under 'More information' below.
You can download application form VAF9 and guidance notes from the right side of this page.
If you apply online, select 'Others' under the question 'Purpose of application'. In section 7 of the application, state that you are 'applying for a Replacement BRP visa because you have lost or had your BRP stolen'.
As part of your application, you must provide your passport and a police report as evidence that your permit has been reported missing, stolen or tampered with.

brp卡是签证卡，是英国政府规定，几类人群需持有的卡。
生物指纹卡，简称签证卡。这张卡上有学生允许在英居留的信息，上面也会清楚标注签证有效时间。大小如银行卡、照片，上面的信息与签证页上的信息类似，现在英国的签证基本都只签发一个月的入境签证。
自2015年4月15日起，所有停留英国超过六个月的学生，将不再会得到长期留学签证，取而代之的是将得到一个30天有效期的临时入境签证，允许学生前往英国。
成功申请到Tier 4签证的学生将得到30天入境签证及一封确认函，里面包含所获签证的时长、所获签证的种类以及在英国领取生物信息卡（BRP）的邮局地址。
申请人凭借30天有效期的签证入境，并需在抵达英国10天内在指定邮局领取BRP
