# The Immigration and Nationality (Fees) (Amendment) Regulations 2016, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Immigration and Nationality (Fees) Regulations 2016 (S.I. 2016/226) (“the Fees Regulations 2016”). In particular, this instrument amends the definition of a positive conclusive grounds decision for the purposes of applications for leave to remain in the United Kingdom made by victims of human trafficking, slavery, servitude, or forced or compulsory labour, and the definition of certificate of travel. This instrument also introduces a new fee into the Fees Regulations 2016 for an optional premium service for the expedited processing of a request in connection with a sponsor’s sponsor management system account, and amends the effect of the waivers relating to children being looked after by local authorities.
A full impact assessment estimating the effect that the Fees Regulations 2016 would have on the costs of business and the voluntary sector was published with an explanatory memorandum alongside the Immigration and Nationality (Fees) Order 2016 (S.I. 2016/177) (“the Fees Order”) and was based upon the fees maxima within the Fees Order. The impact assessment is available alongside that instrument at www.legislation.gov.uk. No further impact assessment has been produced for this instrument.
