Denied entry into UK/given temporary administion – anyone entered again without a visa

7/7/2016 1:09:06 PM

You got an administrative removal from the UK about a year ago and want to visit again and the question is if entry clearance is required or not.

There is no requirement for a New Zealand national (or any other non-visa national) to get an entry clearance following a removal. Instead, it is framed as a ‘best practices‘ recommendation. What that means is you don’t have to get an entry clearance if you really don’t want to, and that you accept the risk of another removal.

From comments…

but I was told could also be refused (there is still a possiblity)
even if have a clearance visa

They will come out with stuff like that if you were combative or flipping out. And it’s true that the holder of an entry clearance can still be refused at the border if they used fraud or deception or forged documents. That’s the extent of it and it’s written in the law just like that. Let’s turn to Paragraph 25A…

The holder of such an entry clearance will not require leave to enter
on arrival in the United Kingdom and, for the purposes of these Rules,
will be treated as a person who has arrived in the United Kingdom with
leave to enter the United Kingdom which is in force but which was
given to him before his arrival.

Based upon this, person will not be refused on the basis of risk as you were. Otherwise there’s no point in applying for a visa! The answer to this is a no-brainer, avoid fraud, deception, and forged documents. If you don’t want to hear them prattle on, don’t be combative and don’t start flipping out. Ignore it.

Moving on, you pointed out that the down side is the cost.

The upside to getting an entry clearance is that it avoids the discomfort and distress of wasted airfares and another removal from port. People get them for that reason.

The decision is something each person has to sort out for themselves. Sometimes people are successful, but the variations of individual cases cannot be summarized into a meaningful central tendency. If you want one you can apply from Spain by filling out the online form and scheduling your biometrics. It takes about 5 or 6 days to process.

Finally…

what the officer told me as I was leaving/crying/freaking out/stressed
like anything

Crying and freaking out is a bad thing. They would have recorded it as a hit against your behaviour during the process. It’s on the computer next to your biometrics. Poor behaviour negatively influences the way they assess your level of risk going forward.

Side note: Historically (owing mainly to performance), New Zealanders and Aussies who have recently held the T5 Youth Mobility Scheme (which is the formal name of what you had) are assessed at higher than normal risk when they apply for leave to enter at a port of entry.
