Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations amend the Immigration Employment Document (Fees) Regulations 2003 in two ways. Firstly, by inserting a new regulation 4(c) in the earlier Regulations, they provide that an application for an immigration employment document made in respect of a person seeking to enter, or remain, in the United Kingdom as a seasonal agricultural worker under the immigration rules shall be accompanied by a fee of £12 (regulation 2(3)). This requirement does not apply to an application for an immigration employment document made in respect of a citizen or national of an excepted country.

Secondly, to reflect this new fee, the Regulations delete an application made in respect of a person seeking to enter or remain in the United Kingdom as a seasonal agricultural worker under the immigration rules from the exceptions from the requirement to pay a fee (regulation 2(4)).
