If you travel outside the Common Travel Area (CTA) – which consists of the UK, Republic of Ireland, Channel Islands and Isle of Man – prior to the Home Office having made a decision on your application for leave to remain or settlement, your application will be treated as withdrawn.
This withdrawal of your application would take effect on the date you leave the CTA. This is why our experts in immigration law would strongly urge you not to travel outside the CTA while a decision on your application is still pending, without considering the serious consequences of doing so. For more information and advice, please do not hesitate to call our lawyers on 0208 215 0053.
