Immigration and Asylum Statistics

The RDS statistics on immigration, asylum and nationality cover:

  • passenger arrivals, admissions and refusals at air, sea and Channel Tunnel ports in the UK
  • asylum applications, decisions and appeals
  • people refused entry at port and then removed, enforced removals and voluntary departures
  • people detained under immigration powers
  • immigration appeals
  • applications for an extension of stay, including settlement

Other topic areas include:

  • the number of asylum seekers supported
  • the number of asylum seekers detained and removed
  • the number of asylum seekers who departed voluntarily
  • applications and decisions relating to British citizenship

Most of the data are taken from administrative records. However, the data on non-EEA national passenger admissions are compiled from a sample of landing cards. Non-EEA citizens are required to complete a landing card on entry to the United Kingdom.
