yes they are. The same entry requirements are assessed whether he pre-requests a visa for permanent residency or whether he turns up with a french visa asking to be let in. (effectively both involve getting permission before he can stand on British soil) The same criteria used should mean that he gets put back on the plane back to France.

except the UKBA have told us this isnt the case, they may be guided by the same criteria, but that doesnt mean they need to come to the same decision considering they are two different circumstances

ill try to simplify it a bit for you
coming to Britain to live and work is fairly obviously a different thing to coming to britain to play one game of RL, regardless of the rules and regulations the UKBA,
how on earth you needed someone to explain that to you i have no idea
if you cant see that emigrating somewhere and visiting somewhere are two different things then im not sure how you manage to dress yourself,
and it would not only be useless, but make a mockery of the competition and most of the public who heard about it would probably think it was bureaucratic dickheadery of a very special kind, which acheives precisely nothing of use
why does that matter?
why is it important that because he cant live and work in this country, he isnt allowed to live and work in another country yet still visit this one for short periods?
for three days to participate in sport, why on earth not? or are you now saying that not only should the UKBA judge on proven actions, they should judge on accusations, and generally whether the border guard thinks the person is a nice guy or not?
ex'foooking'actly, the same would go for bird
Luol Deng is a basketball player who now plays in the NBA, he sought asylum in the UK after leaving sudan for egypt and is now a naturalised citizen
Al Bangura sought asylum from sierra leone, was refused and threatend with deportation but due to public outcry he was given leave to stay, he played for watford, and entered this country illegally
I'm not going to resort to insults, but it's pretty plain to me that you know little about immigration law and processes, or you're hiding it for the sake of an argument.
Have you read the immigration rules and understood the concept of leave to enter?
And as for the bit in bold, I've linked to the general rules relating to entry clearance and leave to enter on this very site about 5 times now. And that is precisely what they can do if you read it.

Indeed, it depends on the interpretation of the person at the airport where he arrives, if you read a few pages back you will see me having a huge issue with this.

That's the effect of the time period. If you want to stay in the UK for any period of time, or be employed here, you need to be pre-cleared. Short trips don't require clearance in advance, but you are still subject to the same entry requirements.
SmokeyTA wrote:but that isnt the point, the point is refusing to allow someone to live and work here isnt the same as refusing to allow them to visit, if it were then we would already know Bird couldnt enter the country because his visa application was refused
The point that some of us are making is that this is precisely the case provided the rules are applied to the letter as they were when his visa was rejected.
Hold on to me baby, his bony hands will do you no harm It said in the cards, we lost our souls to the Nameless One

i havent mentioned what they can or cant do, specifically i havent said the UKBA can or cant do anything
i have specifically argued on what they 'should' do, which is why i have used the word should instead of can
i did this because 'mockery' is a subjective term, it is what you have applied because of your belief in what they 'should' do, not what they can or cant do, which is why it is important you understand there is a difference between emigrating to this country and visiting it
even you would need to admit that the UKBA under their rules and regulations can let Bird in, they can also not, it is up to them, which is why i havent argued whether they can or cant, or even what the right decision is according to my interpretation of the rules, simply what would be the best thing for them to do
