- Our approach
What Are Removal Proceedings?
Removal proceedings are actions taken by the Home Office to remove individuals from the UK who no longer have legal permission to remain. This can apply in various situations, including:
- Expiry or curtailment of a visa
- Refusal of an asylum, human rights, or immigration application
- Breach of visa conditions
- Overstaying your permitted leave
- Criminal convictions that trigger deportation
There are two main types of removal:
- Administrative Removal: When a person is removed for breaching immigration rules.
- Deportation: When a non-British national is removed from the UK due to a criminal offence, usually after serving a prison sentence.
