Draft Legislation:
This is a draft item of legislation and has not yet been made as a UK Statutory Instrument. This draft has been replaced by a new draft, The Immigration and Nationality (Fees) (Amendment) Order 2025 ISBN 978-0-348-26809-6
EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order amends the Immigration and Nationality (Fees) Order 2016 (S.I. 2016/770) (“the 2016 Order”), and makes consequential amendments to the Immigration and Nationality (Fees) Regulations 2018 (S.I. 2018/330) (“the 2018 Regulations”).
The 2016 Order provides for fees to be charged for the exercise of various functions in connection with immigration and nationality. It specifies whether the fees charged are to be fixed amounts or calculated in some other way and also specifies maximum amounts and maximum rates for these fees. The actual amounts and rates that are charged for the exercise of these functions are set by regulations under section 68(7) of the Immigration Act 2014. The current regulations under that section are the 2018 Regulations. Fees set by regulations under section 68(7) may not exceed the maximum amounts or rates specified in the 2016 Order.
This Order increases the maximum amounts chargeable for the exercise of a number of functions specified in the 2016 Order. It also removes references to Electronic Visa Waivers, which have now been replaced by electronic travel authorisations, in both the 2016 Order, and the 2018 Regulations.
A full impact assessment of the effect that this Order will have on the costs of business, the voluntary sector and the public sector is available alongside this Order on www.legislation.gov.uk and from the Home Office, Fees and Income Planning Team, 2 Marsham Street, London SW1P 4DF.
