This covers an applicant seeking entry to the UK who has an outstanding appeal because:

• they have appealed against a refusal of entry clearance; or
• they have appealed from abroad against a previous refusal of leave to enter.

Such a person has no right  to be granted leave to enter for the sole purpose of attending the hearing.  However, the applicant may be granted leave to enter as a visitor where:

• the applicant can satisfy the ECO that only a visit is intended; and
• that the applicant will leave the UK regardless of the outcome of the appeal; and
• that the applicant otherwise qualifies for entry under the Rules.

In such cases, due account should be taken of the likely timescale for any appeal hearing.
