General Updates
United Kingdom
Effective 4 August 2022, the requirement under the Immigration Rules for certain foreign nationals to register with the police has been suspended. This means that the relevant foreign nationals of specified nationalities, aged 16 or over, usually granted more than six months’ leave in certain migration categories are no longer obliged to register with the police. This change applies to those who have already registered with the Police and who have a condition to register with the police listed as part of their leave to enter or remain in the UK. They will also no longer be required to communicate any updated personal details to the police. Those who have already received a Police Registration Certificate are not required to retain their certificate.Those who have been issued with a visa with the requirement to register but who are yet to travel, will have their visa reissued where possible or be notified of the changes in advance of travel. For those who have travelled with the requirement in place, should they attend a local police registration office, they will be advised of the changes accordingly.
