UK - Change to nationalities exempt from IED charge
The Home Office has announced that from 1 May 2004, three new
countries will be added to the list of countries whose nationals are
exempt from the charge for Immigration Employment Documents (IED)
(work permit) applications. These countries are:
Albania
Armenia
Croatia
It has been realised that these countries are indeed signatories to
the Council of Europe Charter or the Social Charter when this IED
charge was introduced on 1 April 2003. These countries were never
included on the original list of exemptions, and Armenia should have
been included on this list from 1 March 2004.
Those employers, individuals or representatives who have been charged
incorrectly will be refunded in full by the end of June 2004.
