  1. This statistical dataset page has been superseded by the Immigration system statistics data tables page [https://www.gov.uk/government/statistical-data-sets/immigration-system-statistics-data-tables].

  2. Updated Immigration System Statistics data tables (Stp_01, Stp_02, Stp_D01) with data on passengers refused entry at the border up to March 2023. This data was not available at the time of the original publication (25 May 2023) due to the transition to a new caseworking system. The name of the datasets was changed from “Passengers initially stopped at the border” to “Passengers refused entry at the border” to better reflect what the data refers to.”
