Summary

This release replaces volumes 2, 3 and 4 of Immigration Statistics: Before entry. Volume 1 of this section is now titled Immigration Statistics: Sponsorship data. The statistics in this topic cover: applications, issues and refusals of entry clearance visas; and non-asylum passengers initially refused entry at ports. Prior to travel to the United Kingdom, a person may be required to apply for and be issued with an entry clearance visa, depending on their nationality, purpose of visit and intended length of stay. On arrival at UK ports or a juxtaposed control in France or Belgium, before being admitted to the country, all individuals have to satisfy a Border Force Officer that they have the right to enter the country.
