Who said such thing ??! Travel outside the UK for people who have a pending immigration application is an issue.
Technically it's UK, IE and Channel Islands. I wish this was EU instead!Who said such thing ??! Travel outside the UK for people who have a pending immigration application is an issue.
Hi
No. It is nothing to do with security. Under immigration act 1971 if you have a pending visa application and you leave the UK, your application is considered automatically withdrawn. A visa to BRP transfer application is NOT a visa applicationiwolga wrote: ↑Thu Nov 28, 2019 7:13 pmTechnically it's UK, IE and Channel Islands. I wish this was EU instead!Who said such thing ??!

Sorry for asking it in someone else's topic, but what are the reason for this restriction? Security?
The question is unclear. What restriction are you referring to?
Alright, thanks for clarifying this. I just assume the rule (or in this case the law) has some rationale behind it.Zimba wrote: ↑Fri Nov 29, 2019 2:16 amNo. It is nothing to do with security.

The latter. I understand this is as per Immigration Act, but surely there is a sense in that? I see so many people (including myself) struggling with this clause due to some travel plans which are getting postponed for months. And I understand life was different in 1971: less mobility and less travelling, less immigrants (I assume), but keeping this rule for 50 years must have a valid reason?secret.simon wrote: ↑Fri Nov 29, 2019 9:50 amOr are you asking why you can't travel outside the UK when an immigration application is pending?
Two points.
