This study aims to provide an overview of existing policies and practices in the EU Member States and Norway towards third-country nationals in a prolonged situation of irregular stay. The overall focus is on those third-country nationals subject to a return decision but whose return was not enforced or was postponed, and those without a return decision who are unknown to the authorities.

This inform summarises the results of the EMN study of the same title which aims to close existing research gaps regarding Member States’ approaches to long-term
irregularly staying migrants, in light of rapid changes in policies and practices and the lack of a recent, comprehensive EU-overview for this group.
The Finnish National Contact Point of the European Migration Network (EMN) has compiled this statistical review from the statistics of the Finnish Immigration Service, Police and Finnish Border Guard as well as the International Organization for Migration (IOM). In addition, the EMN has produced the annual report on migration, which covers all aspects of migration and asylum in Finland in 2021. The report offers advanced information on phenomena, which this statistical review discusses in the light of figures.
The purpose of this report is to describe the Finnish legislation related to detention and less coercive precautionary measures and provide practical information on the degree to which precautionary measures are used. Furthermore, the report discusses the views of the police, the Border Guard and the Ministry of the Interior concerning whether less coercive precautionary measures really are an effective means of establishing an individual’s identity or the conditions for their entry into the country or, alternatively, to ensure their removal from the country.
A statistical annex published alongside the EMN annual report, containing a wide range of national and Eurostat statistics
on migration and asylum.
Annual reports on migration and asylum outline the most significant political and legislative
developments and debates in the EMN Member States and at EU-level in the year.
The reports provide a unique overview of migration and asylum-related developments.
This report maps the progress made by EU Member States and Norway in 2019 in the implementation of the recommended actions laid down in the 2017 Commission Communication on the protection of children in migration, with a view to further understanding progress made in the implementation of the Communication’s recommendations. The scope of this Report is limited to migrant children in the categories set out in the 2017 Communication: accompanied minors/families with children, separated children and unaccompanied minors, including those recorded within the asylum system, not applying for asylum but recorded within other migration procedures, and not applying for asylum, who remain outside the asylum/migration/(child) protection system.
In 2017, the European Commission published a Communication on the protection of children in migration. This sets out actions to reinforce the protection of all third-country national migrant children at all stages of migration to and within the EU, at EU and national levels. This Inform summarises the results of the 2019 Report on the state of implementation of the Communication on the protection of children in migration. It maps the progress made by EU Member States and Norway as regards the recommended actions laid down in the Communication. A summary of the findings can be found from the EMN Flash, which is based on the Inform.
This EMN study focuses on the data collected by various actors involved in the asylum procedure in Finland. It also looks into data protection, information given to applicants in the process, as well as the applicants’ access to data. The study covers the years 2015 to 2020, pointing out the reforms and challenges in data management during this period.
