Naqibullah Rezaei, of no fixed abode, was due before Worcester Magistrates’ Court on Thursday morning (October 9).
However, the case was adjourned for legal reasons and will now be heard before a district judge in Kidderminster.
It is alleged that on August 9, Rezaei attempted to arrive in the United Kingdom without a valid entry clearance, contrary to the Immigration Act 1971 and the Criminal Attempts Act 1981.
