To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department when he expects the facility for issuing visas in Tehran to Iranians to recommence.
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department when he expects the facility for issuing visas in Tehran to Iranians to recommence.
Home Office officials are in regular contact with colleagues from the Foreign and Commonwealth Office regarding the current situation in Iran and the closure of the Visa Application Centre (VAC) for security reasons remains under review. The VAC was housed in the British embassy in Tehran, and should the embassy reopen, we will consider reopening the VAC.
Any applicant wishing to submit an application for a visit visa can apply at any Visa Application Centre worldwide. When the VAC in Tehran was closed, seven VACs were designated for Iranian nationals to apply for any category of entry clearance. These were our two VACs in the United Arab Emirates (Dubai and Abu Dhabi) and our five VACs in Turkey (Istanbul, Ankara, Izmir, Bursa and Gaziantep).

Destination as recorded on source database; all nationals returned to
Iran. 2 Removals are recorded on the system as at the dates on which the data extracts were taken. 3 Recorded on the system as having claimed asylum at some point. 4 Provisional figures. Figures will under record due to data cleansing and data matching exercises that take place after the extracts are taken. |
It is not possible within these figures to say at what stage in the asylum process individuals have reached at the time of their removal, including whether their claim has failed at that point, as those departing voluntarily can do so at any stage without necessarily notifying the Home Office.
Deportations are a specific subset of removals which are enforced either following a criminal conviction or when it is judged that a person's removal from the UK is conducive to the public good. The deportation order prohibits the person returning to the UK until such time as it may be revoked. Most of the foreign national offenders are removed via deportation or the Home Office enforces their departure to ensure they leave the UK.
The Home Office publishes quarterly and annual statistics on the number of persons removed or departed voluntarily from the UK within the Immigration Statistics release. A copy of the latest release, Immigration Statistics April to June 2013 is available from:
https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/home-office/series/immigration-statistics-quarterly-release
and will be placed in the Library of the House.
