Update On Returning Resident Visa Rules (October 2023)

In September 2022, we presented a comprehensive guide on the 'UK Returning Resident Visa' in two parts, Part 1 and Part 2. These posts shed light on the intricacies of returning to the UK for those whose indefinite permission to enter or stay had lapsed. However, significant changes have taken place in the immigration landscape in the year 2023.

In this post, we delve into the newly introduced Appendix, dissecting the modifications and providing updates to our earlier posts.
