Home Office Publishes October 2026 Immigration Rules Archive
The UK Home Office and UK Visas and Immigration have officially locked down and published the historical Immigration Rules archive covering the window from 8 October 2026 to 28 October 2026.
If you are auditing an application, verifying a past legal position, or checking compliance requirements that were active during those three weeks, you can no longer rely on the live guidance. You must reference this specific archived text instead.

The complete historical record is substantial, weighing in as an 8.14 MB PDF spanning 1,409 pages. If you rely on screen readers or other assistive technology that struggles with standard PDF layouts, the Home Office handles alternative format requests directly through alternativeformats@homeoffice.gov.uk, be sure to note your specific assistive technology so they can provide a compatible file.
For quick reference, an accessible version of these archived rules is hosted online through the National Archives web archive. Because these regulations have already been superseded by current rules, keep this archive strictly for retrospective reviews and historical filings tied to that October window.
