Bail
A bail application is lodged when the UKBA detains someone. You can apply for bail if you have been arrested for at least seven days. If you are in custody over an immigration matter, either an overstayer or for asylum reasons, we can help you apply for Bail to get you released from the detention. An Immigration Bail is an application either to the Chief Immigration Officer (CIO) or the Immigration Judge to release a person from immigration custody.
We can deal with your application from start to end, including guiding barristers to appear at court on your behalf.
Role of sureties in bail matters:
The purpose of sureties is to act as potential guarantors that you will not breach the limitations of Bail when released. There could be one or two sureties in immigration bail matters. The sureties are required to provide their details such as proof of their addresses and financial means. Suppose the sureties are expected to have no criminal sentences or vulnerable immigration status. Furthermore, the sureties must attend the court for bail hearing with their proof of ID, address, occupation, and financial status.
There is a sum of money demanded by the immigration court or the UKBA if an application of Bail is directly made to them, which is usually around £2000.
What are the criteria for bail?
Bail may be granted with the following conditions:
- You must reside at an address provided by your sureties.
- Report to an immigration officer must return to stand before an immigration judge for a bail renewal hearing.
- Submit a sum of money that prepared to lose for breaching any conditions of Bail
