Details

This guidance tells caseworkers how to consider transfer of conditions (TOC) applications made in the UK.

The transfer of conditions process will be used in only a limited number of cases. Customers with existing leave in a BRP can apply for an eVisa account. Customers who wish to amend their personal details can do so using the ‘Update my details’ process.
