Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order amends the Immigration (Isle of Man) Order 2008 (S.I. 2008/680) (“the principal Order”).

It extends sections 38 and 39 of the Immigration Act 2014 (c. 22) to the Isle of Man and amends Schedule 9A of the principal Order to modify these sections as so applied. The amendments relate to extending the power to the Minister for the Treasury (of the Isle of Man Government) to provide, by order, for a health charge to be imposed on persons who apply for leave to enter or remain in the Isle of Man for a limited period, entry clearance which, by virtue of provision made under section 3A(3) of the Immigration Act 1971, as it applies to the Isle of Man, has effect as leave to enter the Isle of Man for a limited period, or any other entry clearance which may be taken as evidence of a person’s eligibility for entry into the Isle of Man for a limited period.

In specifying the level of the charge and associated terms the Minister may have regard to the level of the immigration health charge and related provision as may have been specified by the Secretary of State in the United Kingdom under an Order made under section 38 of the Immigration Act 2014 (as it applies in the United Kingdom).
