Five-year leave for Gambian refugees in UK no longer exists
Thus, the initial duration of protecting the most vulnerable people towards the path to British citizenship is now under scrutiny prompting a thoughtful but contentious and controversial political and legal debate. However, the authorities have defended the measure among others as a mechanism of “frequent and thorough review” of different individual cases. The government also noted that the measures will safeguard…“identify and ascertain” various conditions in applicants’ home countries. Concerned Gambians responding to The Point noted that due to the fact that the traditional Five-Year Refugee Permission no longer exists, they have “no other choice but to seek legal advice”. This correspondent further learnt from legal documents that with the current shake-up, applicants could wait for over a decade for permanent settlement in the UK. Furthermore, prior to the drastic changes, applicants recognised as “refugees” were granted five years of leave to remain and thus free to work, study and access public services without any difficulty. In addition, the Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA) is also up and running, thus paving the way for the digitising of the immigration system.
