Changes have been made to the way migrants will be informed of the requirement to register with the police, UKVI has announced.
Nationals of certain countries are required to register with the police if they come to the UK for longer than six months, extend their current leave to remain or switch to a different visa.
The condition to register with the police will no longer appear on Biometric Residence Permits.
Migrants who are already in the UK will be personally notified of the police registration requirement via the Home Office letter confirming that their application for leave to remain has been successful. This letter must be shown when registering with the police.
Applicants who must register with the police when applying for leave to enter, or come to the UK from overseas, will now see the police registration condition on the 30 day entry clearance vignette, which is issued to enable them to come to the UK.
Migrants must show this vignette to the police when registering, together with the letter confirming their application for leave was successful.
This must be carried out within seven days of arriving in the UK.
Further to the UK Government's announcement in June about the EU Settlement Scheme, new information has been released about proving rights in the UK.
The "transition period" ends on 31st December 2020 and until this date identity documents (passport, identity card, or biometric residence permit for non-EEA citizens) can still be used to prove an individual's rights in the UK.
An online service will soon be launched which will allow individuals to prove their rights to others, including employers and landlords. Paper-based evidence will not be provided.
We are delighted to announce that Celsium Powered by Brunel has won the Global Mobility Solutions Provider of the Year - UK category in the 2018 Corporate Immigration & Relocation Awards.
The award, which recognises the very best firms and professionals who work to ensure the most instrumental individual is present in the most opportune place, at the right time to have the greatest impact for all stakeholders, was presented by Acquisition International.
On 21 June 2018 the UK Home Office published their EU Settlement Scheme Statement of Intent and draft Immigration Rules which set out further details about how EU citizens and their families can obtain settled status in the UK and continue living here permanently.
The statement of intent document is 60 pages long, so for those of you who don't have time to read through it, here are the main points:
The Rogue Landlord and Agent Checker has been launched that will allow tenants to check landlords and agents before they sign a tenancy agreement.
The checker, from the Mayor of London, lists those landlords and lettings agents who have been successfully prosecuted or have faced civil enforcement action for housing offences, along with details of the offences and the properties to which they relate.
At the moment, 10 of the 32 London councils have published data (equivalent to 25% of renters), with another 8 councils to submit data in the coming weeks.
