having been granted permission to enter or remain, the person does not observe a condition attached to the permission or remains beyond the time limited by the permission;
the person has obtained permission to enter or remain by deception; or
the person is a dependant of a person who is being or has been removed from the Islands under the provisions of this section.
Directions may not be given under subsection (1)(a) if the person concerned has made an application for an extension of his permission to remain in the Islands in accordance with this Law.
Where a person has overstayed his time in the Islands or is otherwise in the Islands illegally, the Chief Immigration Officer shall cause to be served upon the person concerned written notice in which shall be specified a time, not being more than fourteen days, within which he shall be removed from the Islands.
If such a notice is sent by the Chief Immigration Officer by post, addressed to the last known address of the person concerned, it is to be taken to have been received by that person on the third day after the day on which it was posted.
Directions for the removal of a person under subsection (1)(c) cease to have effect if he ceases to be a dependant of the other person.
Directions for the removal of a person given under this section invalidate any permission to enter or remain in the Islands given to him before the directions are given or while they are in force.
The Cabinet may apply any money or property of a person against whom an order under this section has been made in payment of the whole or any part of the expenses of or incidental to the journey from the Islands, and of the maintenance until departure of such person and his dependants, if any.
