Regulation 2(2) of these Regulations increases the fee for applications for an immigration employment document in connection with the highly skilled migrant programme from £150 to £315.
2002 c. 41. Matters to be taken into account in fixing fees under section 122 are specified in article 3(1) of the Immigration (Application Fees) Order (S.I. 2005/582).
