<p><br/> <br/></p>
<p>This leaflet explains how and when people are allowed to come to the UK to visit, work or settle here. The laws and rules for people who have been granted refugee status and people seeking asylum are different. See the Gurkha Free Legal Advice leaflet 'Claiming Asylum' for information about this.<br/> <br/> The ways that people are allowed to come to the UK are described in rules produced by the Home Office. There are many rules and most of them have been in place for years, but details can change at short notice. The rules, and some of the guidance for the immigration officers who must apply them, are on the Home Office website (see 'Further help').</p>
<p>If you are worried about whether you or a relative or partner will be allowed to stay in the UK, remember that this leaflet is only a guide. Unless your situation is straightforward, you should get expert advice. See 'Further help' for where you can find more advice.</p>
<p><br/> <br/> <br/></p>
<p>This leaflet is published by the Gurkha Free Legal Advice (LSC). It was written in association with the Immigration Law Practitioners Association and Mick Chatwin, a barrister and solicitor specialising in immigration law.</p>
