The Immigration Advice Authority (IAA) has published a factsheet
to help immigration advisers and organisations understand the
proposed changes under the UK Government's Border Security,
Asylum and Immigration Bill 2025.
The factsheet provides a clear summary of the new powers for the
IAA being introduced by the Bill and explains what they could
mean for advisers and organisations, their clients, and the wider
immigration advice sector.
The Bill, currently progressing through Parliament, aims to
strengthen the UK's border controls and improve the efficiency of
immigration enforcement. It introduces new provisions related to
entry and detention, digital documentation, enforcement powers,
and penalties for non-compliance with immigration rules.
Key topics covered in the factsheet include:
- overview of the proposed new enforcement powers for the IAA
- public engagement
- impact on vulnerable groups and small businesses
- support for advisers and organisations
Heather Laing, Chief Executive, said:
We know advisers and organisations are working hard to support
people navigating the immigration system. With new legislation on
the horizon, it's vital that the sector is equipped with
accurate, timely information.
This fact sheet is part of our commitment to supporting advisers,
so that they can give high-quality, informed immigration advice.
The IAA will continue to monitor the progress of the Bill and
provide updates as more details become available. We encourage
all registered advisers and stakeholders to read the factsheet
and share it within their networks.
