Back to 鈥業mmigration statistics, year ending December 2019鈥� content page.

The Home Office 鈥�Immigration statistics鈥� series forms part of a larger cross-Government Statistical Service to meet changing user needs, and which will begin to put administrative data at the core of evidence on migration.

鈥業mmigration statistics, year ending December 2019鈥� provides the latest figures on persons who are subject to United Kingdom (UK) immigration controls. All data in this release relate to the year ending December 2019 (1 January 2019 to 31 December 2019) and all comparisons are with the year ending December 2018 (1 January 2018 to 31 December 2018), unless stated otherwise. Due to European Union (EU) freedom of movement principles, the majority of UK immigration controls relate to non-European Economic Area (EEA) nationals. Unless otherwise stated, data in this release relate to non-EEA nationals.

The August edition of 鈥業mmigration statistics鈥� each year provides a more detailed summary of the statistics.

The Immigration statistics release provides information on the Home Office鈥檚 operation of immigration control and related processes, including the work of UK Border Force, UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI), and Immigration Enforcement.

Figures on performance against service standards and processing times are published as part of the Home Office 鈥�Migration transparency data鈥�.

The Home Office publishes a range of other research on migration, available at the 鈥�Migration research and analysis鈥� page on 188体育. Details on the developments and future plans for Home Office Immigration statistics can be found in 鈥�Developments in migration statistics鈥�. For details of other migration outputs published across government, see the 鈥楢bout this release鈥� section.

Figure 1 provides a high-level overview of UK immigration control for non-EEA nationals. It does not include reference to all aspects of immigration as highlighted in the chart notes.
