Provisions applying to persons before arrival
5.Among the provisions in the Act which apply to persons before they come to the United Kingdom is one for a streamlined right of appeal for visitors who are refused an entry clearance to visit a family member in the United Kingdom.
6.The Act also includes a provision for applicants for an entry clearance to be required to provide, or arrange for the provision of, a financial security (eg a bond) to be provided before entry clearance is given. Immigration rules will specify the circumstances in which a financial security will be required, the maximum amount and the circumstances in which the financial security must be repaid or forfeited. A pilot will be run to test the merits of such a scheme before consideration is given to its wider introduction.
