Deportation is of indefinite duration unless revoked by the Home Secretary under sec 5(2) of the 1971 Act. It is possible to request for the Home Secretary to consider such after a 3 year period has elapsed. Even where the deportation order is revoked the applicant must still meet the relevant immigration rules in the category he/she seeks leave to enter. However given that deportation is usually on serious criminality it is rare for such '3 year post deportation' requests to be considered let alone see the light of day.
