UK Visas and Immigration guidance on how staff assess:

  • whether an application for entry clearance or permission to enter should be refused on the grounds that the applicant is seeking entry to the UK with the intention of entering another part of the Common Travel Area, but they are not acceptable to the Immigration authorities there
  • whether an application for entry clearance, permission to enter or permission to stay should be refused as the applicant will not be admitted to another country after a stay in the UK
