Nationality, Immigration and Asylum Act 2002

The Nationality, Immigration and Asylum Act 2002 is a UK law that governs rules around who can enter, stay, or become citizens of the UK. It sets out procedures for immigration control, visas, asylum applications, and deportations. The Act also establishes measures to prevent illegal immigration and ensures fair treatment of those seeking asylum. Essentially, it provides the legal framework to manage the country's borders and protect those who genuinely need protection, while enforcing laws against unlawful entry or stay.
