What this measures
Asylum applications (OFPRA). Published in the OFPRA annual report. The EU-harmonised monthly figure is shown above.
Who publishes it
OFPRA. This figure comes from the linked national publisher, not a UK figure transferred to another country.
How to read it
The reference period is not available. Publication age and the period covered are different; a recent download does not make an old observation new. Blank values remain blank.
Comparability and limitations
Asylum claims, encounters, detected illegal presence, orders to leave and returns measure different events. None is a count of everyone living irregularly in the country; categories cannot be added together to estimate a population.
