EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Order)


This Order amends the Consular Fees (No. 2) Order 1999 so as to increase certain fees for the provision of entry clearance and visa services overseas.

Fees for entry clearance for a dependency of the United Kingdom or for another country are raised from £20 to £22. The fee for a visa for passing through the United Kingdom without entering it is increased from £25 to £27.

Entry clearance for multiple entries valid for a period of six months in respect of the following categories will be issued at a reduced cost of £36 from £45: for employment or self-employment for a period of six months or less; a returning resident; a visitor; a student; a passenger in transit; an "au pair"; or for a working holiday. The single entry visa for these categories has been abolished and is replaced by the standard six month multiple entry clearance. The fees for receiving an application for entry clearance to the United Kingdom for the above mentioned categories for multiple entries valid for one, two and five years will be increased from £55 to £60, £65 to £70 and £80 to £88 respectively. A new type of entry clearance for multiple entries valid for 10 years is introduced at a fee of £150.

The fees for applications received for settlement and for marriage are each to be increased from £240 to £260. Entry clearance for any other purpose will be issued at an increased fee of £75 from £50. The fee for receiving an application for a certificate of entitlement to the right of abode is raised from £100 to £110.
