Key Updates in CAS Shield for Digital Visas from the Enroly blog
-
Seamless eVisa Transition: Starting November 1, 2024, students will receive an eVisa rather than a BRP. CAS Shield prepares institutions for this shift with no additional right-to-study checks required, as UKVI shares data with larger institutions, reducing administrative work.
-
Integrated UKVI Decision Letters: CAS Shield now automatically collects UKVI decision letters, simplifying right-to-study checks across student documentation—whether a vignette, BRP, or eVisa.
-
Expanded Share Code Verification: Share code verification for student visas is now fully supported, accelerating the verification process and ensuring compliance across teams.
-
Flexible Document Uploads: CAS Shield’s checklist feature now allows students to upload visa-specific documentation based on their visa type, providing a smooth transition as BRPs phase out.
-
Automated Notifications & Status Updates: CAS Shield automatically notifies students about required documents and visa status changes, reducing the administrative burden on teams.
