Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations amend the Immigration (Leave to Remain) (Prescribed Forms and Procedures) Regulations 2006 (“the 2006 Regulations”). The 2006 Regulations prescribe forms to be used for applications for leave to remain in the United Kingdom and the procedures to be followed in relation to an application for which a form is prescribed.

Regulations 3, 4, 5 and 6 of these Regulations substitute the Schedules set out in these Regulations for Schedules 1, 3, 8 and 9 to the 2006 Regulations.

The forms set out in the relevant Schedules to the 2006 Regulations contained errors. In particular section 6 I of the form set out in Schedule 1 to the 2006 Regulations was not sufficiently clear in respect of the documentary evidence which it asked for. In addition in a tick box in the form set out in Schedule 3 to the 2006 Regulations “indefinite leave to remain” was referred to whereas it should have been “extension of stay”. In section 6, note 4 of the form set out in Schedule 8 to the 2006 Regulations the word “times” was mistakenly used whereas it should have been “items”. Finally in the sponsor’s undertaking in section 9 of the form set out in Schedule 9 to the 2006 Regulations the reference to “income support” should in fact have been to “public funds”.
