Immigration Employment Document (Fees) (Amendment No 3) Regulations 2003 come into force

The Regulations amend the Immigration Employment Document (Fees) Regulations 2003 by providing that an application for an immigration employment document made in respect of a person seeking to enter, or remain, in the United Kingdom under the Highly Skilled Migrant Programme shall be accompanied by a fee of £150. This requirement does not apply to an application for an immigration employment document made in respect of a citizen or national of an excepted country. This is the first time that applications for immigration employment documents of this type have been required to be accompanied by a fee. Also, to reflect this new fee, the Regulations delete an application made in respect of a person seeking to enter or remain in the United Kingdom under the Highly Skilled Migrant Programme from the exceptions from the requirement to pay a fee. The Regulations can be viewed on the OPSI website.
