Chapter 2: Temporary exclusion from the United Kingdom
Section 6: Issue of permit to return: application by individual

52.Subsections (1) to (4) make clear that there is a duty on the Secretary of State to issue a permit to return to the subject of a TEO within a reasonable period, if the subject applies for one. It also provides that the return time specified in the permit must be within a reasonable period after the application is made. The Secretary of State may refuse to issue a permit to return if the Secretary of State has required the individual to attend an interview and the individual has failed to do so. An application is only valid if it has been made following the right procedure.

53.Subsection (5) outlines the definitions of “application” and “relevant return time” in this section.
