<dc:description>These Regulations amend the Immigration (Biometric Registration) Regulations 2008 (“the 2008 Regulations”). The 2008 Regulations require certain persons subject to immigration control to apply for a biometric immigration document, a secure document used to evidence immigration status and which contains certain of the holder’s biometric and biographical information. These Regulations extend the categories of persons who are required to apply for a biometric immigration document, to certain overseas applicants and people applying for six months leave or less from within the UK, and revise the processes for the application and issue of these documents. They introduce a new short term biometric immigration document, which will be known as a short stay permit. Biometric immigration documents issued for periods of leave in excess of six months are known as biometric residence permits. These Regulations also amend the provisions about the use and retention of biometric information provided with an application for a biometric immigration document in consequence of the Immigration Act 2014.</dc:description>
