Home Office back down on immediate mandatory 'bans'
for overstayers.
The Home Office have ruled that the
changes to the immigration rules, which would have
banned overstayers from applying for leave to enter
for 12 months, and those issued with removal notices
for 10 years, will only apply to those who remain in
breach of the rules by 1st October 2008. This means
that if you are an overstayer currently in the UK you
now have until the end of September to leave the UK,
and any applications you subsequently make to re-enter
will be judged on their merits, as now, and will not
carry any automatic ban.
