Currently, the most comprehensive source of data to estimate the number of people on visas that typically come with the NRPF condition is the Home Office Migrant Journey (MJ) reports, formerly known as the ‘Statistics on changes in migrants’ visa and leave status’ report. [...] For an empirically informed discussion of the impact of the cost of living crisis on the level of destitution in the UK, including among the migrant population, see the recent report by Fitzpatrick et al. [...] Whilst the data published by the NRPF Network and COSLA provides an insight into the potential numbers of people impacted by the NRPF condition, the challenges in collating and reporting data indicate the current figures represent an underreporting of the need and support provided by social services across the UK to vulnerable migrants with NRPF. [...] As a result, it is difficult to quantify the effects of having the NRPF condition, the impacts of having the condition lifted (through either a successful change of conditions or ILR application), or the long-term effects of having had NRPF in the past. [...] However, relatively little is known about the fiscal impacts of the NRPF condition, which is relevant since reducing costs to the state is one of the stated goals of the policy.
