Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order amends the Immigration and Nationality (Fees) Order 2016 (S.I. 2016/770) (“the 2016 Order”).

The 2016 Order provides for fees to be charged for the exercise of various functions in connection with immigration and nationality. It specifies whether the fees charged are to be of fixed amounts of calculated in some other way and also specifies the maximum amount and maximum rates for these fees. The actual amounts and rates that are charged for the exercise of these functions are set by regulations under section 68(7) of the Immigration Act 2014. The current regulations under that section are the Immigration and Nationality (Fees) Regulations 2018 (S.I. 2018/330).

This Order increases the maximum amounts chargeable for the exercise of a number of functions specified in the 2016 Order.
