Schedule 6: Modifications of Act relating to COVID-19 outbreak
You could also call this:
“Changes made to immigration rules during COVID-19 (now no longer in effect)”
This schedule is about changes made to the Immigration Act 2009 because of the COVID-19 outbreak. It lists several sections of the Act that were modified during this time. These changes affected things like what certain words mean in the Act, rules for different types of visas, and what people with visas had to do.
The schedule also mentions changes to rules about when visas end, how they can be cancelled, and who needs a transit visa. There was even a change to the part of the Act that talks about making new rules.
However, it’s important to know that all of these changes are no longer in effect. The schedule shows that each of these modifications was removed (or “repealed”) on 15 May 2023. This means the Immigration Act 2009 now works the same way it did before these COVID-19 changes were made.
