(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order revokes and replaces the Consular Fees Order 2009 as amended by the Consular Fees (Amendment) Order 2009.
The Order sets out fees to be charged for consular services.
The Order increases the fees in all parts of Schedule I by 2.9% or less, with the exception of fees for immigration applications contained in Part V of Schedule 1, which are increased so as to be equivalent to corresponding immigration fees charged for entry into the United Kingdom under the Immigration and Nationality (Fees) Regulations 2010 and the Immigration and Nationality (Cost Recovery Fees) Regulations 2010.
The Order also amends fee 28(a) (Entry Clearance to the Crown Dependencies) so as to be consistent with the fee categories for entry clearance to the United Kingdom under the Immigration and Nationality (Fees) Regulations 2010 and the Immigration and Nationality (Cost Recovery Fees) Regulations 2010.
The Order makes no increase to the fees for administration of passport applications made in the United Kingdom.
Where increases to fees have been calculated on the basis of a percentage, the new fee has been rounded to the nearest ten pence.
A full regulatory impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no impact on the private or voluntary sectors is foreseen.
