EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order amends the Immigration (Isle of Man) Order 2008 (
S.I. 2008/680
) (the “
principal Order
”) to maintain the Isle of Man’s integrated approach to immigration policy with the United Kingdom, reflecting changes made to the Immigration Act 1971 (the “
1971 Act
”), the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999 (the “
1999 Act
”) and the Nationality, Immigration and Asylum Act 2002 (the “
2002 Act
”) by sections 75 and 76 of the Nationality and Borders Act 2022 (the “
2022 Act
”), as they have effect in the United Kingdom.

This Order extends sections 75 and 76 of the 2022 Act to the Isle of Man subject to the modifications set out in the Schedule to this Order (which is to be inserted as Schedule 11 to the principal Order). Where a provision specified in section 75 or 76 is extended to the Isle of Man without modification, such extension is not referred to in the relevant Schedule to the principal Order as those Schedules set out the modifications subject to which provisions of those Acts so extend. Where a provision of section 75 or 76 is either not extended or is extended with modification, the relevant Schedule to the principal Order is updated accordingly.

So, while there are amendments to Schedules 3 and 6 to the principal Order (as there are further modifications to the 1971 Act and the 1999 Act as a result of the extension of the amendments in the 2022 Act), Schedule 7 to the principal Order is not so amended as the amendments to section 126 of the 2002 Act made by the 2022 Act do not require modification in their extension to the Isle of Man.

Paragraph 4(2) in the Amendments to Schedule 11 creates a power for the Minister of the Treasury (a Minister of the Isle of Man Government) to request that the Secretary of State carries out any functions with respect to the granting of Electronic Travel Authorisations.
