EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations revoke the provisions of the Immigration Appeals (Family Visitor) (No. 2) Regulations 2000 which require payment, specify the form of payment, and provide for repayment of a fee by a family visitor when appealing against a refusal of entry clearance.

In relation to appeals brought before the coming into force date of these Regulations the ability of an entry clearance officer to repay a fee if the appeal is successful is preserved.
