On 23 June 2005 the Minister of State for Immigration announced that the Sectors-Based Scheme will cease operating in the hospitality sector from 31 July, or from when the 2004-5 quota was exhausted, whichever was sooner. This quota is now nearing its limit. Consequently no new applications submitted after 1 July 2005 will be considered.

Any applications submitted after this date will be returned to the sender. No charge will be made for returned applications.
