This Order will replace the Immigration and Nationality (Fees) Order 2007 which has enabled the Secretary of State to make regulations under section 51(3) of the 2006 Act fixing fees and charges in relation to applications, services and processes connected with immigration and nationality since 15 th March 2007. This will happen when regulations under section 51(3) of the 2006 Act setting the level of the fees and charges covered in this Order come into force.
