Immigration Rules
Immigration Rules: Immigration Rules Part 6 Self Employment And Business People
gov.uk change note: Updated to reflect the Statement of Changes HC183
Headline
Part 6 of the Immigration Rules has been reformatted with purely presentational changes — all deleted rule paragraphs now display with bullet points instead of indented text, but no substantive immigration law provisions have changed.
Changes in detail
This document contains no substantive changes to immigration law or policy. All modifications are formatting changes to how deleted rule paragraphs are displayed.
Practical implications
None. These changes are purely cosmetic and do not affect any immigration applications, eligibility criteria, or legal requirements. No action is required by practitioners.
Administrative changes
The entire diff consists of formatting changes to deleted rule paragraphs:
- Throughout the document: All deleted rule paragraphs (200-245 and associated sub-paragraphs) that previously displayed with standard indentation now display with bullet point formatting (indicated by the "-" symbol)
- White space adjustments: Multiple instances of blank lines being added or repositioned around the deleted rule paragraphs for consistent spacing
- Consistent formatting: The change standardises how all deleted rules appear, ensuring they are clearly marked with bullet points rather than appearing as regular indented text
All deleted rules referenced in this Part 6 relate to legacy business, investor, innovator, and artist categories that were already removed from the Immigration Rules in previous statements of changes (primarily HC 607 in 2008). The substantive deletion dates and cross-references to Appendix F remain unchanged.
