9 de May de 2023

In 2022, 141 060 non-EU citizens were refused entry into the EU territory while 1.08 million were found to be illegally present in one of the EU countries. 

The number of non-EU citizens issued with an order to leave an EU Member State was 422 400. Following an order to leave, 96 795 non-EU citizens were returned to another country (including other EU countries), and of this, 77 530 were returned outside the EU.

This information comes from data on the enforcement of immigration legislation published by Eurostat today. The article presents a selection of findings from the more detailed Statistics Explained article.

Non-EU citizens refused entry into the EU: +1% compared with 2021

In 2022, some 141 060 non-EU citizens were refused entry into the EU at one of its external borders, up 1% compared with 139 000 in the previous year.

The largest number of refusals of entry were reported by Poland (23 330), followed by Hungary (15 780), Croatia (11 800) and Ireland (9 240).

Ukrainian citizens accounted for the largest number of refusals in the EU (28 890, -43% compared with 2021). Notably, the main reasons for refusing entry to Ukrainians were: ‘persons already stayed 3 months in a 6-month period’ (27% of the total refusals of Ukrainians in the EU), ‘no valid visa or residence permit’ (21%) and ‘purpose and conditions of stay not justified’ (20%). The next largest numbers were recorded for citizens of Albania (15 630) and Russia (10 860).
