The Immigration (Certificate of Entitlement to Right of Abode in the United Kingdom) Regulations 2006

Abstract

Abstract This chapter presents the Immigration (Certificate of Entitlement to Right of Abode in the United Kingdom) Regulations 2006, which came into force on 21 December 2006. The Regulations specify the authorities to whom an application for a certificate of entitlement must be made. Depending on the situation, these authorities include the Secretary of State for the Home Department; the Governor; the High Commissioner; and any consular officer, any established officer in the Diplomatic Service of Her Majesty’s Government in the United Kingdom, or any other person authorised by the Secretary of State in that behalf. A passport produced by or on behalf of a person is valid for the purposes of regulation 4 if it relates to the person by whom or on whose behalf it is produced; has not been altered otherwise than by or with the permission of the authority who issued it; and was not obtained by deception. A certificate of entitlement shall cease to have effect on the expiry of the passport or travel document to which it is affixed. It may also be revoked by the Secretary of State for the Home Department, an immigration officer, a consular officer, or a person responsible for the grant or refusal of entry clearance.
