These Regulations amend the Schedule to the Immigration (Provision of Physical Data) Regulations 2003, as amended by the Immigration (Provision of Physical Data) (Amendment) Regulations 2004 (taken together “the 2003 Regulations”) by adding two new countries. The Schedule lists countries in which an application for entry clearance is an “application” as defined in the 2003 Regulations. The effect on an application for entry clearance being an “application” under the 2003 Regulations is that it is required to be accompanied by a record of the applicant’s fingerprints. Regulation 2(a) adds Rwanda to the list and regulation 2(b) adds Kenya
