What this measures
Ordered to leave (year). Non-EU citizens issued an order to leave the country.
Who publishes it
Eurostat (migr_eiord). Dataset migr_eiord; the selected series uses citizen=TOTAL, sex=T, age=TOTAL, unit=PER.
How to read it
The reference period is 2019. 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.
