23 June 2022
The Nationality and Borders Act 2022 (“the Act”) achieved Royal Assent on 28th April 2022.
The provisions set out in section 87(3) and (4) of the Act came into force immediately upon Royal Assent. The provisions set out in section 87(5) of the Act will come into force on 28th June 2022. The provisions listed in Schedule 1 of the Act (Commencement No. 1, Transitional and Saving Provisions) Regulations 2022 are also due to come into force on 28th June.
Given the extent of the reforms, the remaining measures will be implemented over the coming months and into next year.
