Immigration statistics: before entry

This release replaces the previous annual and quarterly publications Control of Immigration Statistics and the annual British Citizenship, following a public consultation. Each topic now has its own entry, links to these related reports can be found under the "additional links" section.
The statistics in this topic briefing 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.
From Q2 2014 this dataset has been split into two sections: Vol 1 is now the Immigration Statistics: Sponsorship data tables, and Vol 2, 3 and 4 are now the Immigration Statistics: Entry clearance visas granted outside the UK

本版发布替代了先前年度及季度发布的《移民统计控制》和《英国公民身份年度报告》，此变更基于公开咨询的结果。每个主题均拥有独立的条目，相关报告的链接可在“附加链接”部分找到。本主题简报中的统计数据涵盖了：入境许可签证的申请、签发和拒绝情况；以及最初在港口被拒绝入境的非难民乘客。根据个人国籍、访问目的和预期停留时间，在前往英国之前，个人可能需要申请并获得入境许可签证。抵达英国港口或法国或比利时的相邻控制点之前，在获准进入国家之前，所有个人都必须向边境执法官员证明他们有权进入国家。自2014年第二季度起，本数据集已分为两个部分：第1卷现为《移民统计：赞助数据表》，而第2卷、第3卷和第4卷现为《移民统计：在英国境外签发的入境许可签证》。
