(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Immigration Employment Document (Fees) Regulations 2003 in two ways. Firstly, by inserting a new regulation 4D in those Regulations, they provide that an application for an immigration employment document made in respect of a person seeking to enter, or remain, in the United Kingdom under the Highly Skilled Migrant Programme shall be accompanied by a fee of £150 (regulation 2(3)). This requirement does not apply to an application for an immigration employment document made in respect of a citizen or national of an excepted country. This is the first time that applications for immigration employment documents of this type have been required to be accompanied by a fee.
Secondly, to reflect this new fee, the Regulations delete an application made in respect of a person seeking to enter or remain in the United Kingdom under the Highly Skilled Migrant Programme from the exceptions from the requirement to pay a fee (regulation 2(4)).
