A detailed introduction to chartered residence in Britain

What is the licensed residence permit in Britain, and what are its specific contents and policies? Dear, I will tell you in detail today, and I believe you must need it very much.

what is privileged residence?

The application modes of humanitarian protection (HP) and privileged residence (DL) were put into use on April 1st, 23 to replace the previous "Application for Exceptional Residence" (ELR).

If a person does not meet the requirements of refugee, humanitarian protection or any immigration regulations, the privileged residency will be granted outside the immigration regulations.

how long does the franchise last?

the duration of the franchise right of abode will be determined by the specific facts of a specific case, but from July 9, 212, the duration of the franchise right of abode will generally not exceed 3 months (two and a half years) at a time. Of course, the applicant can continue to submit an application for renewal, and if he can prove that he continues to meet the relevant regulations, the application for renewal will be approved.

from July 9, 212, applicants need to have lived in the UK for at least 12 months (for example, 1 years is generally composed of four two-and-a-half-year privileged residence) before they can apply for permanent residence. Of course, if you get a three-year concession before July 9, 212, it is another matter. For this kind of chartered residence, applicants can apply for permanent residence as long as they have lived in the UK for 72 months, that is, six years.

if the Ministry of the interior determines that the applicant has special circumstances worthy of sympathy, the method of repatriation is no longer applicable. A 3-month franchise may be granted unless one of the following circumstances occurs:

1. When the Ministry of the Interior promised in writing that it would consider the application before July 2, 211 or July 9, 212, but failed to honor it, it decided that this approval was appropriate afterwards;

2. When the Ministry of the Interior made a decision before July 2, 211 or July 9, 212, and decided that it was inappropriate to approve a privileged residence, but after that, it reconsidered its previous decision and finally determined that its previous decision was wrong, this privileged residence should be approved;

3. If the above happens before July 2, 211, permanent residence outside the immigration regulations will be approved.

if the above happens after July 9, 212, the three-year concession will be approved, and the approved person will generally have the right to apply for permanent residence after two three-year concession periods. It should be noted that the above situation generally only happens in those cases that belong to the category of five-year legacy. Due to the shortage of immigration personnel at that time, a large number of cases were delayed or improperly handled.

If the case handler of the Ministry of the Interior thinks that the applicant has other exceptions, the compelling reasons can make his/her application exempt from the policy of only granting a visa for 3 months (two and a half years), and his/her application will be submitted to a higher-level case handler for further consideration. As for other cases, 3 months (two and a half years) is the usual residence time.

longer residency?

in some cases, the Ministry of the interior will consider granting the right of abode for a longer period of time, or because it is in the best interests of the child to be protected, and some conflicting considerations will not exceed the consideration of safeguarding the best interests of the child, or there are some special or compelling reasons to approve the longer stay or permanent residence.

In cases that do not involve children, there must be sufficient evidence to prove that the individual's situation is not unusual, but that his/her case must be separated from the ordinary policy of granting special residence from a fairly high range.

In cases involving children, when considering the length of the right of abode, the Ministry of the Interior will focus on safeguarding the best interests of children (though not necessarily the only consideration). In most cases, the appropriate time will be 3 months (two and a half years), unless in some cases, there is evidence that a longer period of residency (or permanent residency) is based on safeguarding the best interests of children and is necessary to be considered.

Facts such as the length of stay in the UK, whether the child was born in the UK, and strong evidence that the child's life will be adversely affected by being granted the right of abode instead of permanent residency will be considered together with the past immigration history, including the past behavior of parents or caregivers, and other requirements to ensure a fair, consistent and clear immigration policy.
