Explanatory Note
These Regulations replace (and largely revoke) the Immigration and Nationality (Fees) Regulations 2017 (S.I. 2017/515). They also revoke the Immigration and Nationality (Fees) (Amendment) Regulations 2017 (S.I. 2017/885).
These Regulations specify fees relating to immigration, nationality and associated functions. They are made further to the Immigration and Nationality (Fees) Order 2016 (S.I. 2016/177), as amended by the Immigration and Nationality (Fees) (Amendment) Order 2017 (S.I. 2017/440) and the Immigration and Nationality (Fees) (Amendment) Order 2018 (S.I. 2018/329), which sets out the functions in connection with immigration and nationality for which the Secretary of State may charge a fee, and the maximum amount that may be charged for each of these functions. The Regulations also make provision which is incidental to the specification of those fees.
Schedules 1 and 2 specify fees for applications for entry clearance to enter, leave to enter and leave to remain in the United Kingdom and approval letters connected with entry clearance and leave to remain.
Schedule 3 specifies fees payable when requesting certain documents relating to immigration and nationality, whilst Schedule 4 specifies certain fees payable by sponsors when requesting particular products or services.

Schedule 8 specifies fees payable for applications and services in connection with nationality.
Schedule 9 specifies fees relating to applications for entry clearance to enter the Isle of Man, including fees in relation to premium services provided outside the United Kingdom and the Isle of Man, whilst Schedule 10 makes similar provision in respect of the Bailiwick of Guernsey and the Bailiwick of Jersey.
Schedule 11 makes provision for fees payable in respect of miscellaneous matters including the administration of the Life in the UK Test.
Schedule 12 amends the First-tier Tribunal (Immigration and Asylum Chamber) Fees Order 2011 (S.I. 2011/2841).
Provision is also made in the Schedules to these Regulations for exceptions to certain of the fees specified, and the circumstances in which certain of them may be waived or reduced.
