ASTATELESS PERSON APPLICATION TO STAY IN THE UNITED KINGDOM

A stateless person not recognised as a citizen of any country can apply to stay in the UK.

To apply, one must also be:

• Inside the UK at the time of making application

• You are unable to return to a another country as a result of being stateless

Those cannot return to another country because of fear of persecution there, however you will be required to apply for asylum first.

Anyone already claimed asylum or has an outstanding human rights claim, he/she must await a decision. You can apply as stateless person if the claim is refused.

How long one can stay

If given permission to stay (known as ‘leave to remain’) one can normally stay in the UK for 2 years and 6 months (30 Months).  Further leave can be applied on expiry of your initial leave, however you will be required to show the evidence to satisfy Secretary of State in order to be successful.
