  "text": "(This note is not part of the Regulations)\nThe Secretary of State specified in the Immigration and Nationality (Fees) Order 2007 (S.I. 2007/807), (as amended by the Immigration and Nationality (Fees) (Amendment) Order 2008 S.I. 2008/106) applications and processes in connection with immigration or nationality in respect of which a fee was to be charged. These Regulations, which amend the Immigration and Nationality (Fees) Regulations 2007 (S.I. 2007/1168) (as amended by the Immigration and Nationality (Fees) (Amendment) Regulations 2008 (S.I. 2008/544) and the Immigration and Nationality (Fees Amendment No.2) Regulations 2008 (S.I. 2008/1695)) (the “2007 Regulations”) specify the fees for an application for:\n(a) limited leave to remain in the United Kingdom as a Tier 1 (Post Study Work) migrant under the immigration rules that is made in person at a Public Enquiry Office of the UK Border Agency of the Home Office (regulation 5A(3)(b), as inserted by regulation 2(3));\n(b) entry clearance as a Tier 1 (General) migrant and a Tier 1 (Entrepreneur) migrant under the immigration rules in respect of a person who is a national of a state which has ratified the Council of Europe Social Charter (“CESC national”) (regulation 20B, as substituted by regulation 2(9));\n(c) entry clearance as a Tier 2 migrant under the immigration rules in respect of a person who is a CESC national (regulation 20B); and\n(d) a sponsorship licence in respect of:\n(i) Tier 2 migrants;\n(ii) Tier 2 and Tier 4 migrants;\n(iii) Tier 2 and Tier 5 migrants; or\n(iv) Tier 2, Tier 4 and Tier 5 migrants,\nwhere the application is in respect of a person who holds a valid licence in respect of Tier 4 migrants, Tier 5 migrants or Tier 4 and 5 migrants and is not a small sponsor (as defined in the 2007 Regulations) (regulation 20AA, as inserted by regulation 2(8)).\nThese Regulations remove the exemption from the requirement to pay a fee for an application for leave to remain in any category of Tier 1 under the immigration rules that is made in respect of a person who is a CESC national or a national of a state which has ratified the Council of Europe Revised Social Charter (“CERSC national”), and replace it with an exemption for an application for leave to remain as a Tier 1 (General) or as a Tier 1 (Entrepreneur) migrant that is made in respect of a CESC national or a CERSC national (regulation 9, as substituted by regulation 2(4)).\nThese Regulations remove the exemption from the requirement to pay a fee for an application for entry clearance as a Tier 1 migrant or as a Tier 2 migrant that is made in respect a CESC national or a CERSC national (regulation 20C as amended by regulation 2(10)). The reference in regulation 20C to a Tier 5 (Temporary Worker) migrant is also removed as it is redundant.\nThe Regulations also remove the fee for an immigration employment document (regulation 2(6) of these Regulations).",
