Explanatory note

This Order amends the Immigration (Isle of Man) Order 2008 (S.I. 2008/680) so as to make equivalent amendments to the Immigration Act 1971 (c. 77) as it has effect in the Isle of Man (the “1971 Act”) to the amendments made to that Act as it has effect in the United Kingdom by section 76 of the Immigration Act 2016 (c. 19). The effect of these amendments is that once a person is listed by the Security Council of the United Nations or the Council of the European Union as being subject to a travel ban that person becomes an “excluded person” within the meaning of subsection (4) of section 8B of the 1971 Act.

Section 8B(5) of the 1971 Act is amended to reflect that resolutions of the Security Council of the United Nations and instruments made by the Council of the European Union have direct application upon the United Kingdom rather than directly upon the Isle of Man.
