364: Payment of infringement fees

You could also call this:

“How to pay fines for immigration offences”

If you have to pay an infringement fee for an immigration offence, you need to pay it to the chief executive. The chief executive doesn’t keep this money. Instead, they put all the infringement fees they receive into a special bank account that belongs to the government. This account is called a Crown Bank Account.
