362: When infringement notice may be issued

You could also call this:

“When you might get an immigration infringement notice”

If you break a rule about immigration, an immigration officer might give you an infringement notice. This can happen if the officer thinks you are breaking a rule right now, or if they believe you broke a rule in the past. The officer needs to have good reasons to think this before they can give you the notice.
