# The Immigration and Nationality (Fees) (Amendment) Order 2017, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order amends the Immigration and Nationality (Fees) Order 2016 (S.I. 2016/177) (“the 2016 Order”). The amendments include the extension of certain provisions of the 2016 Order to the Bailiwick of Jersey and the Bailiwick of Guernsey for certain specified purposes. That extension is made further to two recently-made Orders in Council (S.I. 2016/994 and S.I. 2016/996) which expressly extended certain of the Secretary of State’s order-making powers in the Immigration Act 2014 (c. 22) to both of those bailiwicks.
This Order also amends the 2016 Order to permit a charge to be made by the Secretary of State for dealing with a request for an approval letter in relation to an application for entry clearance to enter the Isle of Man. It also makes changes in respect of certain definitions in the 2016 Order.
The remainder of the amendments relate to charges in respect of premium services, the effect of those changes being to permit charges to be made in respect of those services in a broader range of circumstances than permitted under the 2016 Order as originally made.
An Impact Assessment has not been prepared in respect of this instrument. This is because this Order does not itself impact existing fee levels, but simply sets the maximum amounts at which the Secretary of State might set such fees by way of future regulations.
