Immigration Advisers Licensing Act 2007

2: Commencement

You could also call this:

“When the rules for immigration advisers start working”

This law explains when different parts of the Immigration Advisers Licensing Act 2007 start to work. You need to know three important things:

First, some parts of the law start working the day after the Queen or King agrees to it. These parts are about setting up the people and groups who will run the new system. They also cover making rules about what immigration advisers need to know and how they should behave.

Second, other parts of the law start working two years after the Queen or King agrees to it. These parts say that immigration advisers must have a licence to do their job. They also explain what happens if someone breaks these rules.

Third, all the other parts of the law that aren’t mentioned above start working one year after the Queen or King agrees to it.
