18th March 2008
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.
