How long before I can re-enter the UK after Leave to Remain refusal? - Redhead Woman with Long Wavy Hair Standing Before Residential Building

My fiancé has been refused an application for an Extension of Leave under the provisions of the Tier 1 (Entrepreneur) scheme.

He left the country 7 days after receiving the refusal notice so he didn't overstay.

He has Australian passport. Can he go back to UK as a visitor?

Are there any specific requirements/risks?

Thank you in advance.



Best Answer

Can he go back to UK as a visitor?

Yes he can, nothing in the law/guidance prevents him from.

Are there any specific requirements/risks?

Yes there are risks and heightened suspicion from immigration and UK Border Force however not much different from anyone who previously had a dust-up with UK immigration particularly since he did not overstay.

He can apply for a visitors visa (typically the preferred panacea recommended here with less stress), or he can choose the visa free route like I did and be ready and well prepared with ample documentation to overcome the inevitable grilling ahead.
