Immigration detention bail
Before you apply
You can apply for immigration bail if the Home Office is holding you on immigration matters. This means you might be released from detention but you鈥檒l have to obey at least one condition.
Who can apply
You can apply whether you鈥檙e held in an immigration removal centre, a detention centre or a prison. You must be held on immigration matters.
When you鈥檙e more likely to get bail
You鈥檙e more likely to get bail if you have a place to stay.
Your application is also more likely to succeed if you have at least one 鈥楩inancial Condition Supporter鈥�. This is a person who:
- will pay money if you do not follow the conditions of your bail
- can attend your bail hearing
Give information about where you鈥檒l stay and your Financial Condition Supporters in the application form.
When you might not get released on bail
You may find it harder to get bail if you:
- have broken bail conditions in the past
- have a criminal record, and there鈥檚 a risk you might reoffend
If you were refused bail in the last 28 days, you will not get another hearing unless your situation has changed significantly. Explain what you think has changed in your application.
If you are refused bail, you鈥檒l get a written statement telling you why.
If you鈥檙e due to be removed from the country
You might not be released even if you鈥檙e granted bail. If your removal date is in the 21 days after you get bail, the Home Office will have to agree to your release.
