Temporary permits pending removal, appeal, etc

(1) Whenever a prohibited immigrant is ordered to leave Belize or has delivered a notice of appeal or security as required to be given in respect of an immigrant, the immigration officer may grant a permit for the immigrant to remain in Belize for so long as the officer considers necessary. etc. (2) Instead of granting the permit or on revocation or expiration of the permit, the immigration officer may cause the immigrant to be arrested and brought before a magistrate who may either order the permit to be granted, restored or renewed 43 and the immigrant to be released, or order the immigrant to be detained in custody until an opportunity occurs for him to leave Belize, or until the matter is disposed of, as the case may be.
