A child to whom these paragraphs apply requires leave to enter. may have obtained leave to remain before he embarked from the United Kingdom, and where such leave has been obtained it will assist the immigration officer in deciding the child's claim to enter. It would be advisable for a child, or a parent on his behalf, to apply for leave to remain under paragraphs 117A - 117E if it is expected that the child will travel and seek readmission to the United Kingdom.
58c. A child who has not been away from the United Kingdom for longer than
2 years is to be given leave to enter for the same period and on the same conditions as his parents, on the immigration officer being satisfied that
he was born in the United Kingdom and is coming with, or to join his parents or a parent in the United Kingdom. If the parents have or are granted leaves
of different duration the child should be given leave for whichever period is
longer, except that if the parents are living apart the child should be given
leave for the same period and on the same conditions as the parent who has
day to day responsibility for him.
In this paragraph 'parents' and 'parent' includes the stepfather of a child
whose father is dead; the stepmother of a child whose mother is dead; and
the father as well as the mother of an illegitimate child. It may also
include a person who is not a parent, but only where there has been a genuine
transfer of parental responsibility on the ground of the parents' inability
to care for the child.
58D. A child will qualify for leave to enter under paragraph 58C irrespective
of any requirements elsewhere in these Rules which would otherwise apply as
to maintenance and accommodation and as to the presence in the U.K. of both
parents; and if he is travelling with parents neither of whom requires an
entry certificate, or is travelling without his parents, he need not have an
entry certificate himself. However a visa national will need to produce a
current visa.
