(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order revokes the Immigration Services Commissioner (Registration Fee) Order 2000 (“the 2000 Order”) which specified the fees to be paid to the Immigration Services Commissioner on making an application for registration or continued registration with the Immigration Services Commissioner as required under Part V of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999 (“the Act”).

The level of the fee in both Orders varies according to the number of members and employees, or persons working under the supervision of such members or employees, of the person applying for registration who provide immigration advice or immigration services. Such members or employees or persons working under their supervision are excluded from the total figure if they are qualified persons within the meaning of sections 84(2)(c) to (f) of the Act, or if they are persons to whom section 84(4) applies.

The new fee structure put in place by this Order replaces the existing flat fees for both initial and continued registration with revised fees which differentiate between first-time registration with the Commissioner and continued registration on an annual basis thereafter. The flat registration fees of £1,800 for one relevant adviser, £2,675 for two to four relevant advisers, £3,475 for five to nine relevant advisers, £4,275 for ten to nineteen relevant advisers and £6,000 for twenty or more relevant advisers in the 2000 Order are replaced by this Order with first-time registration fees of £1,700 for one to four relevant advisers, £1,900 for five to nine relevant advisers and £2,300 for 10 or more relevant advisers and continued registration fees of £1,250 for one to four relevant advisers, £1,550 for five to nine relevant advisers and £2,050 for ten or more relevant advisers.
