India in RED LIST ( Skilled worked Visa )

pb0407 · Post by **pb0407** » Mon Apr 19, 2021 8:49 pm

Hi there ,

I have Skilled Worked Visa ( sticker on passport ) and I will be travelling in 2 weeks of time.
As India has been added to RED List , would I be allowed to enter UK as "Third country National having Resident Rights " ? I would have to undergo mandatory hotel quarantine .

Any help / thoughts would be helpful . TIA.

you will only be allowed to enter the UK if you are a British, Irish or third-country national with residency rights.

I am not sure Tier-2/Skilled worker visa qualifies as people with residency rights. I could be wrong but I read somewhere that only people with residency rights are the ones with ILR but I will wait for the expert opinion.

Can someone please explain what it means 'anyone with residence rights in the UK' for those returning from a RED LIST country'? My wife has a PBS Dependent Leave to Remain Residence Permit. Will she be allowed in?

Thanks.

We tend to overthink things when it comes to immigration.

Why are you guys not considering "skilled worker" or "leave to remain" as rights to reside? What else is it then if you are not residing here albeit with an end date?

I am no expert and this is just my personal opinion.

From 1 January onwards people with residence rights include: holders of Indefinite Leave to Remain; holders of existing leave to enter or remain (i.e those with biometric Residence permits) or an entry clearance/visa that grants such leave e.g. students, workers, etc (excluding visit visas); holders of EU Settlement Scheme (“EUSS”) leave; those who have rights of entry under the Withdrawal Agreements (including returning residents with a right of residence under the EEA Regulations and EEA frontier workers); family members of EEA nationals with rights under the Withdrawal Agreement.
