Immigration officials have now been ordered to ensure that Abramovich who owns a £125million mansion near Kensington Palace does get a permanent stay.

The Home Office's 'Special Cases Unit' has taken over his case as it comes after the entrepreneur was named as one of the 35 oligarchs and key enablers of 'kleptocracy' run by the country's president Vladimir Putin according to Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny.

Abramovich however denies allegations that he is close to the Kremlin and does not deserve such sanctions imposed against him.

However, a senior source told The Sun that any attempt by the oligarch to apply for a permanent visa would 'almost certainly be rejected'.
