Revealed: immigration rules in UK more than double in length

Home Office officials have made more than 5,700 changes to the immigration rules since 2010, a Guardian analysis has revealed, making the visa system nearly impossible to navigate, according to senior judges and lawyers.

The rules have more than doubled in length to almost 375,000 words, resulting in a complex system which has been called “something of a disgrace” by Lord Justice Irwin and prompting a radical overhaul.

More than 1,300 changes were made in 2012 alone, coinciding with Theresa May’s introduction of the hostile environment policy when she was home secretary.

When May’s successor, Amber Rudd, resigned this year over the Windrush scandal, the new home secretary, Sajid Javid, signalled a change in tone but has yet to substantially change course on policy.

The analysis shows that at some points the Home Office introduced changes at dizzying speed, publishing new sets of changes a week apart or less on seven occasions.

One document was published in March 2014 with 22 changes, only to be superseded three days later by a second version containing another 250 changes. The overall number of changes made to the rules since 2010 spans almost 600,000 words, running to a length greater than Tolstoy’s novel War and Peace.
