>>The regime appears to be deport first and appeal later
Good. That will stop them appealing frivolously just to delay the process.
In Chile now in-country visa changes are no longer permitted. er.g. if one is on a tourist visa and wants to change to a residential visa, then one has to leave the country to apply.
Ditto - residential to spouse, anything to working etc. etc.
That should be the same in the UK. Visa applications should not be accepted from anybody within the country. You apply from wherever you are based and uf your visa is refused, then you appeal from wherever you are based, not from within the UK.
People should not be allowed in while their case is processed, they should be kept out until their process is complete.
The same for asylum cases, though obviously you'd want a very fast process for that.
Nobody should get across the border if they need a visa without having a visa.
