Migration

Entries refused at the border by country

Citizens of countries outside the EU refused entry at the country's external border, at a land, sea or air crossing point, because they did not meet the conditions of entry: no valid visa or travel document, a false document, no proof of the purpose of the stay or of the means to pay for it, an entry ban, or another reason. By citizenship. Decisions by border guards to turn a person back at a crossing point on the external border, as each country reports them to Eurostat. People who cross the border elsewhere are not counted. Official figures from Eurostat, the OECD and national statistical offices for 36 countries. Sources and method
