Home Office figures on Removals and Voluntary departures are no longer included. A link to where the latest data can be found is included in the List of Products. If you have any comments or suggestions on the MSQR then please send them to [email protected] Understanding LTIM and provisional estimates The estimates presented from ONS contain final data (to 2009) and provisional data for the year ending December 2010. Final data for 2010 will be published in November 2011. The data are provided from two sources: 1. International Passenger Survey (IPS) estimates. 2. Long Term Estimates of International Migration (LTIM). To create LTIM the IPS estimates are adjusted to take account of: • people whose length of stay changes from their original intentions • additional information on international migration to and from Northern Ireland • asylum seekers The IPS estimates provide further detail than is available from LTIM. However, where LTIM figures are available, they are considered to provide a more complete estimate of migration. Therefore in this report LTIM figures are provided for overall immigration, emigration and net migration and estimates of migration by citizenship and reason for migrating are based on IPS data. Patterns of long term immigration and emigration differ due to a number of factors affecting particular nationalities including; visa requirements, economic factors and government policies. For example, different visa restrictions apply to different nationalities. The latest visa restrictions affect those citizens outside of the EU applying to work in the UK. Any analysis of migration patterns need to consider these factors when identifying and explaining key messages. Further guidance on comparing different data sources can be found in the MSQR User Information.

Citizenship This is the term used in the International Passenger Survey (IPS) to define the country for which a migrant is a passport holder. This refers specifically to the passport being used to enter / leave the UK at the time of interview. It does not refer to any other passport(s) which migrants of multiple citizenship may hold. More generally a British citizen is someone with citizenship usually through a connection with the UK: birth, adoption, descent, registration, or naturalisation.
