We do not routinely comment on the immigration status of individuals.
However, a person subject to a travel ban under sanctions made under the Sanctions and Anti-Money Laundering Act 2018 is an excluded persons for the purposes of Section 8B the Immigration Act 1971. Such a person’s leave to enter or remain would therefore be cancelled.
