Notes: Individuals with a spousal visa curtailment from 2006 provided for PQ 41641 have been used. Please see the caveats associated with that response for details of the data included.

The dates in the table are those when the individual returned, not when their spousal visa had been curtailed (which are outlined in PQ 41641).

Returns figures are based on data used in Published Returns figures from Migration Statistics and include both enforced and voluntary returns.

Returns have been matched to the nearest Curtailment. Individuals with more than one curtailment have been counted only once.

This is provisional management information that is subject to change. It has not been assured to the standard of Official Statistics.
