Regulation 2 amends the provisions of the Immigration (Citizens’ Rights Appeal) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020 (S.I. 2020/61) which in turn makes provision for appeals in connection with various immigration decisions relating to, or connected to, leave under residence scheme immigration rules. This amendment makes provision in particular for appeals in connection with decisions made under Appendix S2 Healthcare Visitor of the immigration rules. Appendix S2 Healthcare Visitor is the provision fulfilling the United Kingdom’s obligations under the withdrawal agreement, the EEA EFTA separation agreement and the Swiss citizens’ rights agreement (as defined in section 39(1) of the European Union (Withdrawal Agreement) Act 2020 (c. 1)) to enable those who had applied for authorisation for a course of planned medical treatment before the end of the Implementation Period to enter the UK to receive that treatment.
