The Difference Between Deportation and

Removal Orders: 

 

Deportation Orders- are usually applicable to foreign nationals

with a criminal conviction, and will require such persons to

leave the UK.

 

According to Part 13 of The Immigration Rules, the grounds

for deportation can include: 

 

•Where a court recommends deportation of an individual who

is over the age of 17 and has been convicted of an offence

which could be punishable with imprisonment.

​

•Being the spouse, civil partner or child (under 18) of a

deportee.

​

•If the Secretary of State believes the individual’s deportation 

would be conducive for “the public good” and  is in the “public

interest”. 

 

 

Removal Orders- on the other hand, are reserved for persons

who have breached the conditions of their immigration status.

 

These can be ordered when; 

•Persons are required to have leave to enter or remain in the

UK but do not have the required leave,  e.g. (overstayers, illegal

entrants, and those who refused leave at a port of entry).

​

•Individuals who are found to be breaching a restriction or

condition of their visa to enter or remain in the UK. 

​

•Persons who seek or obtain leave by deception. 

​

•Individuals who are family members of a person being

removed.

 

 

Challenging a Deportation or Removal

Order & How We Can Help:

 

Although there is no automatic right to appeal a deportation

or removal order, you may however, raise a human rights

claim or claim that the order is contrary to the UK’s

obligations under the Refugee Convention. If you you wish to

exercise the right to refuse your deportation or removal order

you must do so within 28 days, ( or 5 days if you are detained),

stating why you should not be deported. 

​

With our assistance, we can help you establish a challenge of

the decision  to remove you from the UK, establishing a right

to remain in the UK.

 

If you are not entitled to appeal the decision of the Home

Office to deport or remove, and you do not have a human

rights claim, we can advise you on the exceptional

circumstances, in the process of making a judicial review

application, including an injunction to stop the deportation

order. This is particularly useful for those at risk of being

deported soon or who have exhausted the appeal process

and can produce no further evidence of their right to remain in

the UK.
