Explanatory note
This note is not part of the regulations, but is intended to indicate their general effect.
These regulations amend the Immigration (Visa, Entry Permission, and Related Matters) Regulations 2010 (the principal regulations).
Regulations 4, 5, and 7, which come into force on 1 July 2022, exempt residence class visa applicants under the Refugee Family Support Category from being charged fees or an immigration levy under the principal regulations.
Regulations 6 and 8 and Schedules 1 and 2, which come into force at 11.59 pm on 31 July 2022, alter the level of fees and immigration levy payable under the principal regulations. They also remove the fee for a Temporary visa application—student visa (submitted by education provider), as the application channel to which that fee relates has been discontinued.
