How to get out of detention

Anyone can apply for bail who is in immigration detention and has been in the UK for seven days. You cannot apply for bail if you have already had a bail application within the last 28 days (and your circumstances have not significantly changed).

Our self-help guide for detainees will guide you through the bail process so that you can apply for bail yourself.

Do you have accommodation to go to if you are released on bail?

The Home office states that you can make submissions by sending it a letter if you need accommodation but that it will only provide it to you if there are very exceptional reasons for it to do so.

The Home Office also states that asylum seekers and those refused asylum should contact Migrant Help for help with making an application for support that Migrant Help will send to the Home Office on your behalf.

You can contact Migrant Help's free helpline on 0808 8010 503. They have dedicated lines for 14 different languages.

Read our fact sheet 'How to apply to the Home Office for a release address' for information on how to access Home Office accommodation on release from detention.
