Explanatory note
This note is not part of the regulations, but is intended to indicate their general effect.
These regulations, which come into force on 19 September 2022, amend the Immigration (Visa, Entry Permission, and Related Matters) Regulations 2010 (the principal regulations). The amendments relate to residence class visas for investors.
Regulations 4(1) and 5(1) amend the principal regulations by removing references to Investor 1 Category residence class visas, following the suspension of that category of visa.
Regulations 4(2) and (3) and 5(2) amend the principal regulations by removing references to Investor 2 Category residence class visas and inserting references to Active Investor Plus Category residence class visas. Those changes reflect the closing of the Investor 2 Category and its replacement by the new Active Investor Plus Category of residence class visa.
