| Sep 19, 2020 at 22:10 | comment | added | phoog | @DJClayworth in fact there are specific types of visas to which the various bans apply. The extent to which discretion is applicable to any of those visas I do not know. I may be able to work up an answer sometime next week, but the relevant information should already be somewhere on this site. I definitely remember the topic coming up at some point in the last few years. The only thing I remember for sure is that many bans are inapplicable to family settlement visas (maybe discretionary) and that all are inapplicable to applications under EU free movement (some definitely discretionary). | |

On the one hand, yes, but I don't have time to look them up and write a proper answer. On the other hand, use your favorite search engine and type in "immigration rules" uk. Unless you're very patient or a very quick reader, you will indeed need to be pointed to the right sections. Nearly everyone agrees that the immigration rules are almost incomprehensibly complex and poorly drafted.

The only kinds of entry it would not apply to are ones where you have an automatic legal right to enter. I also believe deception might be considered a criminal matter, and even if you were allowed to enter you could find yourself arrested. | |

| Sep 19, 2020 at 21:06 | comment | added | JosephCorrectEnglishPronouns | On one hand, couldn't that retort be used to dismiss a great many of the questions on this site, thus defeating a big part of the purpose of the site itself? | |
